I think tp_smapi needs to be pushed into the upstream kernel first,
along with a hefty dose of peer review. There are a few ways that
letting users control tp_smapi would allow me to crash my T61 at the
moment.

When tp_smapi is upstream, I think it makes a lot of sense to add the
functionality to DeviceKit-power.
