It happens to all of us.

Interesting. I'm new to kernel development and I can't find where in
toshiba_acpi.c this is implemented. Nor do I see any documentation for this
interface. I would love some hints with regards to this.

For now I have been using the out-of-tree acpi_call module:

https://github.com/nix-community/acpi_call

Arch Linux (which I use) packages it as a DKMS module. Handy to test with,
but probably really easy to screw up your system using it if you don't know
what you are doing.
