Description of problem: Thinkpad ACPI component not loaded on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current (F7) and devel How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot thinkpad 2. run lsmod 3. Note thinkpad_acpi not listed Expected results: Thinkpad acpi module loaded on boot. Additional info: This module move from drivers/acpi to drivers/misc in 2.6.22. The reason for this being that the driver is not just ACPI stuff I believe. So maybe there is a reason stuff in misc/ shouldn't be loaded. Anyway, I attach a patch which really needs reviewing as I can't code my way out of a cardboard box. Even though its a one-liner. Depressing huh?

This is fixed in later kernels by adding dmi-based aliases to load the module automatically.
