Hmm must have missed it, but right it was already covered =)

Can't you ask Lenovo? Thinkpad-acpi is important to every Thinkpad Linux user 
out there and will increase their systemvalue "for free", so they should be 
interested in helping out.
BTW I'd have expected it to use ideapad firmware like the Thinkpad SL series 
so they put the standard thinkpad controllers in there? If that 10' version 
wouldn't have these thick bezels hmm =/
