Hi,

I finally could resolve the buffering of ACPI events on
some ASUS (M6N, M6000, A3500N, A6000G, maybe more...)
when battery module is loaded.

After hours of hopeless debugging I could track it down by comparing
with Yu Luming's previously patch posted on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Yu, could you confirm that this is really fixing a bug and totally safe?

Or was this intended and could possibly lead to problems on other machines?

Thanks,

      Thomas
