Acer BIOS has a bug which is exposed when a dead battery is present.
The package template that is used to describe battery status is
over-written with sane values when the battery is live.
But when the batter is dead, a bogus reference in the template
is used. In this case, Linux returns a fault, when instead
it should simply return that it doesn't know the missing value.

egrep serial /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
serial number: 32090
serial number can tell you from the imminent danger
of beeing set on fire.

At least some systems report technology information with trailing spaces:
{pts/1}% cat -E /var/tmp/bat/2.6.23 | grep type
battery type: Li-ION $
Use strncasecmp to compare model string to skip trailing part

Introduce new ACPI_PROCFS_POWER (default Yes) config option and move
procfs code in battery, ac, and sbs drivers under it.
This is done to allow ACPI_PROCFS to be default No.

If a battery is at a critical charge level and not being charged or
discharged, then the ACPI _BST method will return a state of 4, and
the current acpi_battery_get_property() code will not set any property
value for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_STATUS. This will cause an oops in
power_supply_show_property() when it reads off the end of the
status_text array. This actually was causing a 100% reproducible
crash on boot on my laptop with two batteries, when one battery was
completely drained and the laptop was not plugged in.
Fix this by making sure acpi_battery_get_property() returns
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_UNKNOWN for any battery state it doesn't already
handle explicitly. There doesn't seem to be any status enum value
defined that makes more sense than 'unknown' for a battery at a
critical charge level.

Make sure no power_supply object is present unless we actualy detect
presence of battery. This fixes ghost batteries detected by HAL

acpi_extract_package() creates more problems with memory management than
it solves as helper for package handling.

Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.
Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.
Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.
There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y

The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.
However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
and they already report their events via the input layer.
Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
events via netlink. This allows the input-like events
to opt-out of generating netlink events. In summary:
events that are sent via netlink:
ac/battery/sbs
thermal
processor
thinkpad_acpi dock/bay
events that are sent via input layer:
button
video hotkey
thinkpad_acpi hotkey
asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
sonypi/sonylaptop
