I see now. If we could trust ACPI entirely - there would not be such a
request from your side, perhaps. But since it is not really
trustworthy - you prefer it to be in charge of the percentage itselft.
This explanation is good enough for me, thanks.

I think, this is secondary reason (again, there would not be a trouble
to say 'heym people, just divide and keep track of the percentage
only' - if only ACPI would work as it should).

You got my support for it:)
