[ltp] loading lt_hotswap on boot kills ibm_acpi: Thinkpad T30

[kaens]

I got it to work by making a one-line script that loads the module,
and running update-rc.d scriptname defaults (which sends it to
runlevels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and it worked fine. I'll test your solution
as well - since my script needs to be setuid to work.
