And Sedat asked and is asking again for backlight (acpi + drm-2.6)
patches to go into 2.6.39...

There were 5 patches from Matthew Garrett...
IIRC you told me you took over backlight stuff from Richard Purdie
(hope I recall the name correctly).
First it is a bit hard for me to assign your changed patch names to
the original ones.
There are patches from your tree being recognised for linux-next...
What's up with the backlight ones?
Unfortunately, the last working linux-next (next-20110224) and the
patchset (I have maintained here) do not apply due to recent changes
in linux-next this week.
(Mostly the big patch 1-5 required adaptation to fit linux-next.)
And yes, I am a bit sick of it, so I kicked them for now.

I am not sure what is the ideal way to let these 5 patches (and more?)
go into linux-next (aka for-2.6.39)
But for the mentionned patchset platform-drivers-x86.git#linux-next
could be a good choice (it is automatically pulled into linux-next),
but this would mean Matthew has to do the work...

Anyway, I want to see this patchset in 2.6.39.

BTW, the below listed patchset was take #2 from Matthew.
I am sure take #3 will make me and others happy :-).
