Rather put more generic DMI entries for the recent HP ProBook and
EliteBook machines as in acpi_osi blacklist:

	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP ProBook 2013 models",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP ProBook "),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, " G1"),
		},
	},
	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP EliteBook 2013 models",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP EliteBook "),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, " G1"),
		},
	},
	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP ZBook 14",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP ZBook 14"),
		},
	},
	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP ZBook 15",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP ZBook 15"),
		},
	},
	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP ZBook 17",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP ZBook 17"),
		},
	},
	{
	.callback = dmi_disable_osi_win8,
	.ident = "HP EliteBook 8780w",
	.matches = {
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
		     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP EliteBook 8780w"),
		},
	},

All these are known to have different behavior with Win8, including
the broken ACPI backlight.  Once after merging that patch, we can
revert the commit 2d4054d84224.

I suppose it'd be OK for to do these for 3.14, since the acpi_osi
commit was merged first in 3.14.  Then we can continue fixing in a
saner way.


thanks,

Takashi
