        Patch from Richard Hughes <hughsient at gmail.com>. Reported by Ryan
        Lortie <desrt at desrt.ca>.

        * hald/linux2/acpi.c (battery_refresh_poll, battery_refresh):
        convert the current values from mAh to mWh (some laptops report in
        other than mWh) by multiplying by the current voltage. This gives
        us "energy" units that are not dependent on the current voltage of
        the battery. This fixes the
        bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309944) where the
        remaining time was being worked out with incorrect logic. The
        util_compute_time_remaining and util_compute_percentage_charge
        functions now take the sanitised values too. This patch introduces
        the new keys battery.reporting.* representing the raw values from
        ACPI. This will not change API for existing programs (as the old
        charge_level keys are just re-used for the sanitised values). A
        battery.charge_level.design key of "Unknown ACPI Unit" represents
        an unknown unit that may have to be calculated like mAh.

        * doc/spec/hal-spec.xml.in: Update spec with new keys
