    eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume
    
    OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was
    introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume".
    
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
    
    Process s2disk
    Tainted: G W
    IP: klist_put
    
    Call trace:
    ? klist_del
    ? device_del
    ? device_unregister
    ? pci_stop_dev
    ? pci_stop_bus
    ? pci_remove_device
    ? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop]
    ? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop]
    ? acpi_device_resume
    ? device_resume
    ? hibernation_snapshot
    
    It appears the PCI device is removed twice.  The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug()
    call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI
    notifier callback.  The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume
    handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN.
    
    The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue.

    ACPI: bind workqueues to CPU 0 to avoid SMI corruption
    
    On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the
    SMI runs on CPU 0.  An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's
    done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid
    the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.

    thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAM
    
    HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work
    well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think
    it will stop there.
    
    Switch to a white/blacklist.  All models that have HBRV defined have
    been included in the list, and initially all ATI GPUs will get
    ECNVRAM, and the Intel GPUs will get UCMS_STEP.
    
    Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are:
    
    1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs;
    
    2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot
       and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded;
    
    This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826

    thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdrivers
    
    The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
    the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
    code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
    broken anyway...
    
    Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
    but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
    HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
    either.
    
    That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
    as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
    has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
    enough reason to find a way to fix this code.
    
    Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
    support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
    indeed useful for them.

    thinkpad-acpi: disable broken bay and dock subdrivers
    
    Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
    broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
    therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,
    undock, bay ejection, etc).
    
    OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
    docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
    In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.
    
    It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
    breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI.  This is old,
    deprecated code that sees little testing or use.
    
    As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi
    bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig.  The dead code will be
    removed by a later patch.
    
    This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

    hp-wmi: check that an input device exists in resume handler
    
    Some systems may not support input events, or registering the input
    handler may have failed. So check that an input device exists before
    trying to set the docking and tablet mode state during resume.
