OK, tommorow is now, 4 months later. I was to busy with
lectures. An updated patch is below that passes my small
test suite.

The next step is to integrate this properly with power supply
and/or acpi battery. One way would be to add additional power
supply properties and then add get/set_property() pointers to
the acpi battery which it can fall back to if it does not support
a requested property (and we would locate the ACPI battery and
set those pointers to new thinkpad_acpi functions).

Full changelog:
* Changed stop interval to 1..100
* Fixed name of attributes (tresh => thresh)
* Made sure to keep start < stop

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] thinkpad_acpi: Add support for controlling charge
thresholds

Add support for battery charge thresholds in new Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge
ThinkPads. Based on the unofficial documentation in tpacpi-bat.
