There's some extra confusion when we have both ACPI and custom firmware 
access to the same hardware, but Thomas Renninger has some code to sort 
that out. Beyond that, we're just left with the choice of banging the 
hardware directly against going through the firmware. And, of course, 
whatever opregion brings to the table. You might want to talk to Keith 
about that.
