Thanks for including the demo program, Rui, it works for me (tm).

Applied -- with the incremental patch below, which I think
is correct because the only caller is bus.c, which is part of
the base kernel, not a module.  Modules will call
acpi_bus_generate_event(), not acpi_bus_generate_genetlink_event()
directly.

thanks,
-Len
