<title>ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: claim tpacpi as an official short handle (v1.1)</title>

Unfortunately, a lot of stuff in the kernel has size limitations, so
"thinkpad-acpi" ends up eating up too much real estate.  We were using
"tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to
userland.

Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary,
and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named
"ktpacpi_nvramd").

Also, register a module alias with the shorthand.  One can refer to the
module using the shorthand name.

<title>ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: BIOS backlight mode helper (v2.1)</title>

<content type='text'>
Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily
set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way
than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings
up the ACPI interface.

The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be
safe to use only as an one way trapdoor.  One is not to force the firmware
to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting.  The mode
switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least
once.

When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for
the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY
events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware.

thinkpad-acpi will:

1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode
   if one is available
2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default
   to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when
   the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode
3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver

The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness
key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get
them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if
ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up).

Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is
more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad
BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers.

Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the
thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.
