Porting DeviceKit-power to non-Linux

[Lin Guo]

Hi Arnaud,

As I know, the current kernel drivers(hid & hidparser) on Solaris can 
not handle USB/HID UPS devices. However, there is a project "HID 
Extending" in progress with the goal as "support more hid devices and 
features in hid devices in solaris, including function keys in keyboard, 
horizontal scroll in some usb mice, tablet, UPS and others." I am 
waiting for the delivering of the project for UPS support.

So USB/HID UPS support will not be covered by Phase One of 
Devicekit-power on Solaris.

Best Regards,
Lin
