[ltp] ibm-acpi : No such device

[Jäggi Roger]

Use this patch:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1276701&gro=
up_id=117042&atid=676747
and you should be able to compile without problems.

But I'm still not able to load it afterwards.. (error message see below).

Thanks Jean, I somehow forgot that ibm-acpi wouldn't even compile
correctly.... Looking forward to see the solution!
