It might also be of interest that ACPI Embedded Controller still has
some issues. It's a bit confused between acpi_status (ie AE_OK) and
status_t (ie B_OK) types, and it seems to not fail gracefully when it
can't acquire the lock, which can be seen by the bogus values in
battery_status from time to time. Other OS's also seem to serialize
the locked part by a mutex. (These are the only ACPI issues I know of
though.)
Is on my todo list but with very low priority. So if you already take a look please go ahead!
