Update documentation header, and relocate a hunk of text that was missplaced.

 This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. It supports
 various features of these laptops which are accessible through the
-ACPI framework but not otherwise supported by the generic Linux ACPI

-Example Configuration
----------------------
-
-The ACPI support in the kernel is intended to be used in conjunction
-with a user-space daemon, acpid. The configuration files for this
-daemon control what actions are taken in response to various ACPI
-events. An example set of configuration files are included in the
-config/ directory of the tarball package available on the web
-site. Note that these are provided for illustration purposes only and
-may need to be adapted to your particular setup.
-
-The following utility scripts are used by the example action
-scripts (included with ibm-acpi for completeness):
-
-	/usr/local/sbin/idectl -- from the hdparm source distribution,
-		see http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware
-	/usr/local/sbin/laptop_mode -- from the Linux kernel source
-		distribution, see Documentation/laptop-mode.txt
-	/sbin/service -- comes with Redhat/Fedora distributions
-	/usr/sbin/hibernate -- from the Software Suspend 2 distribution,
-		see http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/
-
-Toan T Nguyen <ntt-JAjqph6Yjy/HDPtHwZCLWA@public.gmane.org> notes that Suse uses the
-powersave program to suspend ('powersave --suspend-to-ram') or
-hibernate ('powersave --suspend-to-disk'). This means that the
-hibernate script is not needed on that distribution.
-
-Henrik Brix Andersen <brix-aBrp7R+bbdUdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org> has written a Gentoo ACPI event
-handler script for the X31. You can get the latest version from
-http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/files/x31.sh
-
-David Schweikert <dws-D+RCJvqCTXrtRgLqZ5aouw@public.gmane.org> has written an alternative blank.sh
-script which works on Debian systems. This scripts has now been
-extended to also work on Fedora systems and included as the default
-blank.sh in the distribution.
