[2.6.35-rc5] hp-wmi patch missed .35 merge window, requestingaddition to next rc

[Josh Hill]

please cc as i'm unsubscribed
as reported in this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15344
and the patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=751ae808f6b29803228609f51aa1ae057f5c576e

the backlight on this laptop goes down one level whenever
/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/*/status is read.
i've been told the patch missed the .35 merge window, and is going to
be in .36, but ubuntu is
going to release 10.10 soon with .35 in it, and if this patch doesn't
make it into .35 my laptop
will be doing this for its (10.10) entire lifetime. i didn't know who
to really contact and request this sort
of thing so i'm doing it here.

thanks,
  josh
