Re-based the patch on top of linux-acpi test branch.
No functional change, just fixed some conflicts introduced by
4fe0a2f25ed36949330dbda0154a4a701f310462

I'm an idiot.
The problem was that Lindent commit that I should not have 
checked in before your patch.  Sorry i created work for you.

I reverted the Lindent patch, applied your original,
and will then Lindent the result -- assuming I can
tame Lindent to be more deterinistic...

thanks,
