I have released version 0.21-20081019 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117042&package_id=230205

git users can get it directly from tags in:
git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/linux-acpi-2.6/ibm-acpi-2.6.git

This release contains a full backport of the rfkill subsystem from
wireless-testing, as some new code in thinkpad-acpi needs the
rfkill_set_default() function.

The main highlights are:
* Rfkill backport of the latest wireless-testing
* Preserve fan state on resume, when it is not dangerous to do so
* Helper patch for Intel IGD backlight control
* UWB radio support
* Preserve WWAN, Bluetooth state across shutdown

Please test and report any problems.  Since I only have hardware to test the
rfkill core and fan changes, the UWB and state storage across shutdown have
not been tested yet... so I would also appreciate success reports for those.
