We're also going to support batteries from e.g. wireless mice; there's
still a patch from Sergey that I'm going to merge soon. So it should
just be called battery.

Those are added; I didn't like this one

so now it's battery.rechargable.is_charging (bool) and 
battery.rechargable.is_discharging (bool). The reason for this,
in my view, is that it's easier to deal with two bools than three
string values. See the patch I committed also.

I've only added one new, namely linux.acpi_path. See the patch 
I committed also.

Then we can add them in the future - if they are necessary :-)

Cheers,
