If anyone implements this, please make it possible to disable the
battery checks as a workaround for machines where this causes the
problems I've described.
It seems that on some boards, the ACPI battery state calls (is it BIOS?
are those 32 bit, or what?) take too long and have interrupts locked out
during that time. This is causing synaptics touch-pad pointer glitches,
keyboard bounce and lockout, and even network card lockup when under
heavy network load.
