The battery does work with some weird DSDT hack, but it breaks other things
(suspend, for example).

In Windows, there seems to be a separate driver for smart batteries ("Microsoft
Smart Battery Driver" as opposed to the ACPI Control Method Battery or whatever
it's called), maybe we need one of those for Linux too (maybe using lm-sensors,
as it seems to be SMBus stuff)
