3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Manoj Iyer <manoj.iyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a4f46bb9fa84642e356898ee44b670989622f8bb upstream. In the latest V-series bios DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION does not contain the string Lenovo or Thinkpad, but is set to the model number, this causes the thinkpad_acpi module to fail to load. Recognize laptop as Lenovo using DMI_BIOS_VENDOR instead, which is set to Lenovo.

But, I tested it to make sure this patch does not break on already functioning models of Lenovo products.
