2.6.24 and /proc/acpi/battery

Hi,

Since the update to 2.6.24 (I now run it, pulled it in from testing) the procfs for acpi was deprecated. I think we should keep the two next options in the arch kernel.

# CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is not set

I think the above should be set since quite some few applications depend on /proc/acpi/battery and /proc/acpi/ac

And even on 2.6.24 there still is a /proc/acpi directory filled with some things, so it's not so very "deprecated" if despite the fact CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is not set, there still exists such a directory.

Cheers!

ps. the app that is broken for me is kde's klaptopdaemon from kdeutils, 3.x.
