Bug Description

Hi.

This is not really a bug, more a feature request. There are many laptops out
there with smart batteries, for instance acer. To make the battery work in this
laptops you need a patched DSDT file from http://acpi.sourceforge.net/

My feature request is, could you include in the repository compiled DSDT files
for laptops known to work and (if possible) some type of autodetecting mechanism
for installing such file? This would help laptops work out of the box without
any 'tunning' and it would be very useful specially for beginners.
