[PATCH] different in acpi.c

[Danny Kukawka]

Hi,

this is a patch to fix several things in the ACPI related code:

* Status for battery.reporting.last_full is now read by
  battery_poll_infrequently ().  This saves several open/read
  calls to /proc/acpi/battery/*/{info,state} and enables reuse of
  the information gathered (makes reopening of the {info,state}
  proc entries unnecessary).

  battery_poll_infrequently () is invoked              
  * every 60 minutes 
    and
  * once a AC adapter ACPI event occurs

  This prevents battery.reporting.last_full to be changed more
  often then intended.

* battery.present is now read from /proc/acpi/battery/*/state
  instead of reading the information from /proc/acpi/battery/*/info 
  since reading from the info proc entry takes very long on several 
  systems.

* If a ACPI battery event occurs, we now also gather the information
  for ac_adapter.present.  This helps to detect the AC online/offline 
  state for machine which do not trigger an ACPI event for AC 
  online/offline but still report battery events by an issuing 
  ACPI event.

* Splitted acpi_poll() into acpi_poll_battery() and acpi_poll_acadapt().

Tested on several system having either a proper or broken ACPI
implementation for battery and AC adapter events.

Please review.

Cheers,

Danny
