Switch all task workers to a private thinkpad-acpi workqueue.
This way, we don't risk causing trouble for other tasks scheduled to the
default work queue, as our workers end up needing to access the ACPI EC,
run ACPI AML code, trigger SMI traps... and none of those are exactly known
to be fast, simple operations.

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.

ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi did not know about bit 5 of the EC backlight
level control register (EC 0x31), so it was always forced to zero on
any writes.
This would disable the BIOS option to *not* use a dimmer backlight level
scale while on battery, and who knows what else (there are two other
control bits of unknown function).
Bit 5 controls the "reduce backlight levels when on battery" optional
functionality (active low). Bits 6 and 7 are better left alone as well,
instead of being forced to zero.

If userspace applications mess with the CMOS NVRAM, or something causes
both the ACPI firmware and thinkpad-acpi to try to change the brightness at
the same time, it is possible to have the CMOS and EC registers for the
current brightness go out of sync.
Should that happen, thinkpad-acpi could be really obnoxious when using a
brightness_mode of 3 (both EC and CMOS). Instead of complaining a massive
number of times, make sure to complain only once until EC and CMOS are back
in sync.

thinkpad-acpi knows for a while now how to best program the hotkeys by
default, and always enable them by default. Unfortunately, this
information has not filtered down everywhere it needs to, yet. Notably,
old ibm-acpi documentation and most "thinkpad setup guides" will have wrong
information on this area.
Warn the local admin once whenever any of the following patterns are met:
1. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffff (artifact from docs and config
for the old ibm-acpi driver and behaviour). This mask makes no
real-world sense;
2. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffffffff, which means the user is
trying to just have "everything work" without even reading the
documentation, or that we need to get a bug report, because there
is a new thinkpad out there with new exciting hot keys :-)
3. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffffff, which is almost never the
correct way to set up volume and brightness event reporting (and with
the current state-of-the-art, it is known to never be right way to do
it).
The driver will perform any and all requested operations, though,
regardless of any warnings. I hope these warnings can be removed one or
two years from now.

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.

A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the
existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the
X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is
tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is
set).
Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This
attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW
SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.

The video output port control feature is not very useful on many ThinkPads
(especially when a X server is running), and lately userspace is getting
better and better at it, so it makes sense to allow users to stripe out the
thinkpad-acpi video feature from their kernels and save at least 2KB.
