[ltp] thinkpad-acpi release 0.21-20080612 uploaded to ibm-acpi.sf.net

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

I have released version 0.21-20080612 of thinkpad-acpi through the
sourceforge.net release system.

Patches are available for 2.6.23, 2.6.24, 2.6.25 and 2.6.26-rc6 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 is likely to be the last thinkpad-acpi release for the 2.6.23 kernel.

This release includes support for the rfkill subsystem in thinkpad-acpi,
which I hope to submit for mainline 2.6.27.

It also includes a full backport of rfkill changes and enhancements that may
be merged for 2.6.27, without which thinkpad-acpi cannot support the kernel
rfkill subsystem.

This release includes a *VERY* important fix to the LED class code for older
thinkpads (like the A-series) which uses the LED_OLD access method.  Without
the fix, the thinkpad-acpi LED code can corrupt a single byte of kernel
memory at some very specific locations, with unknown consequences (lucky
people, like the one who reported the bug, would get a kernel OOPS. I have
no idea what could happen to unlucky people).

Enjoy!
