Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] ACPI: SBS: Fix various issues

On my Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi, the system locks up upon
suspend/shutdown. After a lot of research, it turned out
that the sbs module was the culprit. The driver would not
correctly mask out the value used to select a battery using
the "Smart Battery Selector" (subset of the "Smart Battery Manager").
This accidentally caused a invalid power source to be selected,
which was automatically corrected by the selector. Upon
notifing the host about the corrected power source, some batteries
would be selected for re-reading, causing a endless loop.
This would lead to some workqueues filling up, which caused the
lockup upon suspend/shutdown.

The first three patches fix a stacktrace on module removal caused
by some locking issues. The last patch finally fixes the
suspend/shutdown issues.

As a side note: This was the first machine on which i installed Linux,
to finally fixing this took ~5 years of tinkering.
