#5 Support for Packard Bell EasyNote A8

[masilla]

First of all, forgive my lame english.

I bought an EasyNote A8 yesterday. Looks like this is
the first non-Acer laptop that uses a Smart Battery.

Intel ASL compiler doesn't compile this file (buggy DSDT?):

b-easynote-a8.dsl 518: If (LEqual (And
(PDC0, 0x0A), 0x0A))
Error 1061 - Object does not
exist ^ (PDC0)

pb-easynote-a8.dsl 523: If (LEqual (And
(PDC1, 0x0A), 0x0A))
Error 1065 - Object not accessible from this
scope ^ (PDC1)

pb-easynote-a8.dsl 1856: Method
(DRUL, 1, NotSerialized)
Warning 2085 - Not all control paths return a
value ^ (DRUL)

ASL Input: pb-easynote-a8.dsl - 4972 lines, 167567
bytes, 1850 keywords
Compilation complete. 2 Errors, 1 Warnings, 0 Remarks,
603 Optimizations

Patching the original does not work, as expected.

Thanks for your efforts. I've fixed about 4 Acer
laptops with these patches in my LUG.
