I should also mention that this bios update *seems* to help power use as
well.  Previously I was unable to get the system to go much below 19W
idle, lowest brightness, and usually it was 20-21W.  I'm now able,
without changing anything else, able to get it down to 16 and sometimes
even 15W idle (with X and wireless turned on).  So, good stuff.
