Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.
There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.
Thanks to Julien Lerouge and Karol Kozimor for the work they have
done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus
related drivers without asus_acpi.

Fix scancodes returned by driver to match scancodes used to remap keys.
(Before the patch FN/E returned scancode 0x1B, but to remap scancode
0x14 had to be used).
The scancodes returned by the sony-laptop driver for function keys did not
match the scancodes used to remap keys. Also, since the scancode was sent
to the input subsystem after the mapped keysym the /lib/udev/keymap
utility was confused about which scancode to report for which keysym.
This patch fixes the driver so the correct scancode is shown for each
key. It also adds to the documentation a description of where to find
the scancodes.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.
Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Handle events 0x4010 and 0x4011 so that we do not pester users about them.
These events report when the thinkpad is docked/undocked to a native
hotplug dock (i.e. one that does not need ACPI handling, nor is represented
in the ACPI device tree). Such docks are based on USB 2.0/3.0, and also
work as port replicators.
We really want a proper dock class to report these, or at least new input
EV_SW events. Since it is not clear which one to use yet, keep reporting
them as vendor-specific ThinkPad events.
WARNING: As defined by the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI rules of engagement, the
vendor-specific events will be REMOVED as soon as generic events are made
available (duplicate events are a big problem), with an appropriate update
to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs/event ABI versioning. Userspace is already
prepared to provide easy backwards compatibility for such changes when
convenient to the distro (see acpi-fakekey).
* Event 0x4010: docking to hotplug dock/port replicator
* Event 0x4011: undocking from hotplug dock/port replicator
Typical usecase would be to trigger display reconfiguration.
Reports mention T410, T510, and series 3 docks/port replicators. Special
thanks to Robert de Rooy for his extensive report and analysis of the
situation.

Handle some user interface events from the newer Lenovo models. We are likely
to do something smart with these events in the future, for now, hide the ones
we are already certain about from the user and userspace both.
* Events 0x6000 and 0x6005 are key-related. 0x6005 is not properly identified
yet. Ignore these events, and do not report them.
* Event 0x6040 has not been properly identified yet, and we don't know if it
is important (looks like it isn't, but still...). Keep reporting it.
* Change the message the driver outputs on unknown 0x6xxx events, as all
recent events are not related to thermal alarms. Degrade log level from
ALERT to WARNING.
Thanks to all users who reported these events or asked about them in a number
of mailing lists. Your help is highly appreciated, even if I did took a lot of
time to act on them. For that I apologise.
I will list those that identified the reasons for the events as "reported-by",
and I apologise in advance if I leave anyone out: it was not done on purpose, I
made the mistake of not properly tagging all event report emails separately,
and might have missed some.

acpi_video_backlight_support() already tells us if ACPI is handling
backlight control through the generic ACPI handle. It is better to just
trust it.
While at it, adjust down a printk priority, and test earlier for
brightness_enable=0.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in

This should help to prevent bitrot.
This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.
Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the
video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org.
Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not
provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through
X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
can access any sort of video output control state.
This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any
non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to
hard-crash some ThinkPads.
