I am not responsible for the ACPI code, but... wouldn't it make sense
to rename probe_ibm_smbus_device() to acpi_ibm_smbus_match() and have
it follow the same convention as acpi_dock_match() and
acpi_bay_match()? To make the code more consistent.

As both patches depend on each other and one is useless without the
other, you might as well sequence them the other way around, so that
you touch this line only once.

Other that these details, I like the patch. If this helps with ACPI
resource conflicts, even better :)
