After my update, I notice IBM still don't know how to do ACPI... The 
DSDT still has the same errors... e.g.

exfldio-0179: *** Warning: The ACPI AML in your computer contains 
errors, please nag the manufacturer to correct it.
 exfldio-0182: *** Warning: Allowing relaxed access to fields; turn on 
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG for details.

bytes) too large for region [U7CS] (length 2)

Will they ever get it right...

However I can now enforce a passwd after hibernation. I'm about to test 
it in a minute to see if it means after S3 as well as S4... Fingers 
crossed...
