a) Not have to rewrite every acpi battery applet to use the sbs
interface directly, and
b) Not have to have a database of hardware that has a smart battery

Is there any way to provide the legacy interface even if standard
battery support is built in, or alternatively some way of probing the
system to determine which battery module should be loaded?
