The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.
However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
and they already report their events via the input layer.
Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
events via netlink. This allows the input-like events
to opt-out of generating netlink events. In summary:
events that are sent via netlink:
ac/battery/sbs
thermal
processor
thinkpad_acpi dock/bay
events that are sent via input layer:
button
video hotkey
thinkpad_acpi hotkey
asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
sonypi/sonylaptop

It was erroneously used as a description rather than a name.
ie. turn this:
lenb@se7525gp2:/sys> ls bus/acpi/drivers
ACPI AC Adapter Driver ACPI Embedded Controller Driver ACPI Power Resource Driver
ACPI Battery Driver ACPI Fan Driver ACPI Processor Driver
ACPI Button Driver ACPI PCI Interrupt Link Driver ACPI Thermal Zone Driver
ACPI container driver ACPI PCI Root Bridge Driver hpet
into this:
lenb@se7525gp2:~> ls /sys/bus/acpi/drivers
ac battery button container ec fan hpet pci_link pci_root power processor thermal

cosmetic only
Make "module name" actually match the file name.
Invoke with ';' as leaving it off confuses Lindent and gcc doesn't care.
Fix indentation where Lindent did get confused.

Most batteries today are ACPI "Control Method" batteries,
but some models ship with the older "Smart Battery"
that requires this code.
Rich Townsend and Bruno Ducrot were the original authors.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
