TODO revision 1.1 
1Important things to make ACPI useful on more machines:
2
3* Add support for attaching acpiec devices using the ECDT.  Some systems
4  need this because otherwise their _INI methods try to access regions in
5  the EC space before it's initialized.
6
7* Fix the locking protocol in acpiec.
8
9* Support thermal levels and fan control in acpitz.
10
11* Deal with the "implicit" return problem for older laptops.
