Just tried throwing out those _PPC lines and just changing the Z005->0x00 
since those are in the _BST. That seems to make the battery readout work!!

However, I'd like to keep those _PPC lines, since those are in the CPUT part, 
which is the cpu thermal control, I think?!?!


Relevant asl lines:

        Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00008010, 0x06) {}
