Thanks for coding this up for me in full.  It works, the battery now
survives, and it does indeed remove the IRQ warning.

I didn't test the hibernation hunk.  I have hibernation set up, but
there is a different problem (not a regression).  I don't have much
more time to investigate on this laptop, so I don't expect to get it
fixed.  But here are some details anyway :-).

When I run s2disk, it writes the image out, and then instantly
resumes.  It doesn't seem to read the image, but neither does the
kernel report an error:

[  491.088802] ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S4
[  491.090498] PM: Saving platform NVS memory
[  491.094638] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

[  491.096015] PM: Hibernation image created (114990 pages copied)
[  491.096015] ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S4

It happens on 2.6.24-23-generic, 2.6.30, and 2.6.30-rc2.
