Current state in my repo is attached. It should work on 1.12 as well as it 
doesn't depend yet on moving stuff around.

add-acpi-if-m.patch adds some new stuff to the ACPI code to access 
embedded controllers and match ACPI devices by ID. Not sure how, where 
and whether at all these should be documented.

add-acpi-thinkpad.patch is the driver itself. Note that some stuff doesn't 
work yet on newer thinkpads, I plan to work on it later.

There is still some things to do though. I have to decide what to do with 
led(4) part and with locking. There is also one fatal issue - laptop 
locks up hardly (no panic) while unloading module. Any idea regarding 
this is welcome. And of course test results :).
