I already have power_supply module, battery depends on it and it is autloaded. 
But I fail to see where I can get battery info in /sys

Here is what I get in 2.6.23 from /proc/acpi/battery:

sh-3.2# ls -l /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 26 21:00 alarm
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 26 21:00 info
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 26 21:00 state
sh-3.2# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/alarm

remaining capacity:      37530 mWh

and here is what I can find in 2.6.24-rc1 in /sys/class/power_supply:

sh-3.2# ls -l /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/

sh-3.2# cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/device/hid

sh-3.2# cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/device/path
\_SB_.BAT1

so the only useful information I get is that it is Battery (type attribute) 
and PNP/ACPI IDs.

And even if it worked with /sys you still have regression in /proc/acpi

It is clean build of -rc1. As long as can trust git pull (I build every 
version in clean O directory).
