Drop this.  As I mailed this ML, the ibm-acpi patches from sf.net have a
regression in them that breaks ibm-acpi bay support for anything that worked
before the patches (i.e. all but some T60p).   What is in 2.6.20 for
ibm-acpi is quite good enough for anything but a pathological case of
thousands of load/unload cycles of ibm-acpi.

That said, you do NOT use ibm-acpi bay support when using the acpi generic
bay support, so it should not be the reason you are having trouble.
