Assuming I write the battery.quirk.* keys into the spec, 
and patch the fdi/policy/Makefile.am, is this patch (attached) acceptable?

Is there a better name for the file or better names for the quirk keys?
We need the quirk keys in case we have to *avoid* reading the value from BIOS
(as in it's wrong, rather than missing) -- but I think in this specific case
we are okay.

And you were right Danny, this fdi way of doing things (rather than
hardcoding in C) is much better.

Richard.
