It looks like this GUID is present in a surprisingly wide range of 
devices (eg, http://pastebin.com/8BY0Dg64 from a Vaio...), which means 
that it's probably not a safe assumption that reading from the EC will 
give us reasonable results. Do the Acer drivers definitely do that, 
rather than there being some SMI that returns the data?
