New diff against unmolested 2.2.18pre24 (appears to apply cleanly to
2.2.18 also) is attached.

Main points:

(1) adds a configure item for buggy BIOS (i.e. that can't be automagically
detected).

(2) catches the case of booting with boot-parameter apm=debug (previously
this could cause a fatal oops during the boot)

(3) modifies the output of /proc/apm when power status reporting is
disabled - on reflection, maybe this wasn't such a smart thing to do
(could royally stuff anybody who is automagically parsing /proc/apm?)
