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.

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.

Add the basic ALSA mixer functionality. The mixer is event-driven,
and will work fine on IBM ThinkPads. I expect Lenovo ThinkPads will
cause some trouble with the event interface.

Disable volume control by default. It can be enabled at module load
time by a module parameter (volume_control=1).
The audio control mixer that thinkpad-acpi interacts with is fully
functional without any drivers, and operated by hotkeys.
The idea behind the console audio control is that the human operator
is the only one that can interact with it. The ThinkVantage suite in
Windows does not allow any software-based overrides, and only does OSD
(on-screen-display) functions.
The Linux driver will, with the addition of the ALSA interface, try to
follow and enforce the ThinkVantage UI design:
The user is supposed to use the keyboard hotkeys to interact with the
console audio control. The kernel and the desktop environment is
supposed to cooperate to provide proper user feedback through
on-screen-display functions.
Distros are urged to not to enable volume control by default.
Enabling this must be a local admin's decision. This is the reason
why there is no Kconfig option.
Keep in mind that all ThinkPads have a normal, main mixer (AC97 or
HDA) for regular software-based audio control. We are not talking
about that mixer here.
Advanced users are, of course, free to enable volume control and do as
they please.

Lenovo removed the extra mixer since the T61 and thereabouts.
Newer Lenovo models only have the mute gate function, and leave
the volume control to the HDA mixer.
Until a way to automatically query the firmware about its audio
control capabilities is discovered (there might not be any), use a
white/black list.
We will likely need to ask T60 (old and new model) and Z60/Z61 users
whether they have volume control to populate the black/white list.
Meanwhile, provide a volume_capabilities parameter that can be used to
override the defaults.
