    ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi · f21f85de

    Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi.  ThinkPads are not even made
    by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...
    
    The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
    driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame.  The driver
    apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
    -mm).  ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.
    
    The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
    confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
    use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
    google point to ibm-acpi anyway.
    
    Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
    as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
