SRU JUSTIFICATION
================

IMPACT
======
Newer thinkpads from Lenovo have HKEY_HID "LEN0068" instead of HKEY_HID "IBM0068" this prevents the module from autoloading, losing support for hotkeys.

FIX
===
Patch to add new HKEY_HID "LEN0068" to thinkpad acpi module.

TEST
====
Patch tested by me on Lenovo x120 and by James Furgeson on other thinkpad models.
