Is there some way to trace ACPI calls under Windows (XP Home)?
I could then have a look at what happens when I Fn-F5 BT off.

Hmmm, with this version and no_bt_rfkill=1 I run into the same problem
as without the ideapad module: If I switch BT off in Windows and reboot
to Linux, the device remains invisible and I have no chance to switch it
back on again :/
I guess this is because the initial device activation does currently
only happen in ideapad_register_rfkill() via rfkill_init_sw_state()
which is not called if no_bt_rfkill=1.
A manual call to ideapad_rfk_set() (or ideapad_sync_rfk_state()?) in the
no_bt_rfkill=1 case would very likely solve this, but I don't know how
to provide this call with the correct arguments.
