I have released version 0.16-20070925 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.20, 2.6.21, 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-rc 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 comes with the NVRAM polling work, in its nearly final version
(I hope).  It *still* needs some heavy testing if it is to make it for
2.6.24.

In particular, I have received no reports from people with older ThinkPads
that actually need it...

The default polling frequency is now 10Hz.  There is now a Kconfig option to
avoid increasing thinkpad-acpi's size too much if you don't need NVRAM
polling at all.

This release also supports lm-sensors 3.0.0, and therefore some changes were
done to the sysfs layout for hwmon attributes.
