On my stock RH 7.3 Thinkpad 600, I notice the following in the startup
logs:

IBM machine detected. Enabling interrupts during APM calls.

Unless Redhat's assuming that ALL machines are IBM thinkpads, it looks
like the kernel's able to detect them - or at least, this one.

There's no custom Thinkpad kernel on the RH discs, and my generic desktop
box at home (installed from the same discs) doesn't seem to show this
message.
