Subject: [patch 081/123] thinkpad-acpi: fix poll thread auto-start

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@....eng.br>

commit b589ea4c44170d3f7a845684e2d1b3b9571663af upstream.

The driver was not starting the NVRAM polling thread if the input
device was bound immediately after registration.
