[PATCH 2.6.29-rc4] Restore ACPI reporting via /proc/acpi/events for EeePC & other Asus laptops.

The descriptions for the following two commits
2a7dc0d8c60325e9bf820900bf919430e5a419ab (asus-laptop)
2b25c9f01aa58d48129b2f93748dfb5d1f7ab0a2 (eeepc-laptop)
say that events should ALSO be exported via netlink, but the effect is that
they are INSTEAD exported via netlink. The latter commit breaks use of acpid
on my EeePC 901.
