no requirement here.
That is only require if you want to enable ACPI. But AFAIK even in Dano
not even the original BFS implements those hooks.
APM doesn't need such a thing (it doesn't work anyway... or please raise
the hand if it does work for you :)
ACPI in Dano can be either:
- disabled (default),
- enabled if all drivers supports it (not even sure a single driver
in Dano does),
- enabled and force loading only those drivers that supports it
(tried that once... it paniced coz it couldn't mount /boot :P)

AFAIK think the only reason OBFS isn't in Zeta yet is because it's still
beta (and user's data are to precious aren't they ?).
But it looks it won't stay beta for long :)
