No sign of my battery patch (attached, again) to fix the confirmed
userspace breakage of the acpi battery on some hardware (T61 and other
Lenovo models).

I've filed http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12632 and it's in
status "RESOLVED CODE_FIX" but it seems nobody has done anything with
the patch.

Please, tell me what I need to do to get this merged. If it's not merged
soon, I'll just switch HAL back to using /proc/acpi by default as it's
affecting real users right now.

Thanks,

Richard.

Subject: [PATCH] battery: don't assume we are fully charged when not charging or discharging

On hardware like the T61 it can take a couple of seconds for the battery
to start charging after the power is connected, and we incorrectly tell
userspace that we are fully charged, and then go back to charging.

Only mark a battery as fully charged when the preset charge matches either
the last full charge, or the design charge.
