Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6:
  ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAM
  ACPI: create "processor.bm_check_disable" boot param
  ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it
  ACPI: fix unused function warning
  ACPI: processor: fix processor_physically_present on UP
  ACPI video: fix string mismatch for Sony SR290 laptop
  ACPI battery: don't invoke power_supply_changed twice when battery is hot-added
  ACPI: handle systems which asynchoronously enable ACPI mode
