I wrote a patch as compromise. I added a new parameter to 
util_compute_time_remaining() to enable/disable guess the chargeRate. For 
this I added a new property (battery.remaining_time.guess=true/false) to the 
pmu and acpi code. Now it would be easy to enable guess chargeRate for broken 
machines with a fdi-file.

Please review.

Cheers,

Danny
