Ive read through the (short) smbus specs and the 2.2.14 patch and I dont
think its very hard to incoperate into the kernel (but Ive never done
any kernel coding before ;) except for the asm because Im almost totally
blank on asm.
The biggest problem I have is that I aint 100% sure that I have smart
battery because shouldnt my /proc/acpi/battery/* be totally empty then?
