While this is a neat hack, there's no real way that distributions are
ever going to adopt this approach - DSDTs are copyrighted by the
vendors, and without permission they're not going to be distributed by
the Linux vendors. The alternative approach of modifying the user's DSDT
on the fly is likely to be excessively fragile. The only reasonable
solution is to provide a mechanism to read the battery directly.
