"On Acer laptops, acer-wmi should already be autoloaded based on DMI matching.
For non-Acer laptops, until WMI based autoloading support is added, you will
need to manually load acer-wmi."
... are we wasting time?
(it would be strange anyway, since there _are_ non-acer laptops registered in the driver!)
