A small nitpick: tp_smapi uses two different underlying interfaces:
* SMAPI access to the BIOS for battery charging control
* LPC access to the Embedded Controller for most battery status
The battery temperature readout actually uses the latter.

So while "tp_smapi" started out doing only SMAPI access, by now it's
somewhat of a misnomer. At some point we'll probably split the code
into three modules:
- thinkpad_ec for low-level EC access (already exists)
- thinkpad_smapi for low-level SMAPI access
- thinkpad_battery for battery-related functions using both of the above
