The DSDT table of an IdeaPad S10e looks completely different from that
of a ThinkPad SL.

Judging purely by the variable names, the \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.BTBS
method might (or might not) have something to do with Bluetooth.
Perhaps someone who owns an IdeaPad S10 can use this hint to start
writing a new driver, or maybe patch my driver to support the S10
(although I think that simply writing a new driver will be easier). In
any case, without physical access to an S10, I can't do it.

Note: I don't know if any of this applies to other IdeaPads. Maybe the
IdeaPad S10 is so strange because it's a netbook, and other IdeaPads
are more similar to the ThinkPad SL.
