ac status broken with kernel 2.6.8-rc2

ac status broken with kernel 2.6.8-rc2

[Micha Feigin]

The ac status reporting is completely broken for me with kernel
2.6.8-rc2 and 2.6.8-rc3-mm1. 

On cold boot the power is always reported as off-line. After suspend
(swsusp2) the power is stuck on on-line. It doesn't matter for both
whether the power is actually connected or if the battery is in.

ac and battery are compiled as modules and loaded from /etc/modules and
removed/reinserted on suspend/resume cycle.

The machine is a sony vaio pcg-fxa53 (amd 1500+ and via chipset).

I have seen similar issues on nx5k, see archives for hacky
patch. Right solution is to use "platform" method of powerdown...

I believe this is a different issue. Also, swsusp _does_ or at least can
use S4 AFAIK.
