    ACPI: Revert "ACPI: Remove CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER and cm_sbsc.c"

    The commit 1e2d9cd and 7d7ee95 remove ACPI Proc Battery
    directory and breaks some old userspace tools. This patch
    is to revert 7d7ee95.

    Fixes: 7d7ee958867a (ACPI: Remove CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER and cm_sbsc.c)

The problem is that it really needs a follow-on patch to fix this help text:

    This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
    and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
    This option, together with the proc directories, will be
    deleted in 2.6.39.

Somebody want to pick a new release target and try again?
