I've tried to find a way to prevent acer-wmi loaded if VPC2004 found in DSDT. Thinking twice, seems to do this in kernel is not a good idea because if acer-wmi is necessary in one model of ideapads then we need to re-compile kernel for testing. I think it will be better to do this in udev if possible.
