Wow, that was fast on both of our ends.

thinkpad-acpi is broken, and has been since forever(!)...  It *is*
sending two arguments to something that takes only one.  Not that it
will do anything really bad other than output a warning, but still...

Now, I just need to find out if the ACPI BEEP handler ever took two
arguments in the past, probably way back to the model 600 and 700...
argh.  I hope I have all the DSDTs.
