Power supply class doesn't have writeable properties (initially
it was a 'battery monitor class'). Though. I'd happily merge
the support for writeable properties. ACPI batteries would
benefit too, i.e. they could export 'alarm' property (see
drivers/acpi/battery.c).

Though, I'd want to apply this patch set as is (i.e. I prefer 
the new behaviour, as it's really more 'user friendly'), and
we could implement configurable option later.

Pavel do you have a strong objection against this patch, or
you can live with it? :-)

Thanks!
