Sanitize ACPI Kconfig. No other subsystem uses default m for all its
options and surely there is no need to do this for the more obscure
modules. When you do make oldconfig with an old option and just press

I'd say that AC adapter, battery, button and fan should be on by
default. You set thermal zone to on by default, but thermal zone

neccessary if you want to go 2GHz with your athlon64 laptop (or it is
800MHz), so I'd say enable it.
My desktop boxes and servers all don't care about battery or AC.

But I'm not opposed to turning it on, just the "m" default is quite useless.
I'd say that 'y' there makes sense, but anything is better than 'm'.
