The changes to apple-gmux.c get rid of the acpi_video backlight under
EFI boot on the Macbook Pro 8,2. Unfortunately userspace still prefers
intel_backlight on this machine, which also doesn't work. I can't help
but think that we need a more generic way of specifying the preferred
backlight for a machine.

All the same, if this gets picked up feel free to add
