Well, it works :) When I press the button, the function that was passed to
bus_setup_alart is called.

That's a very good idea! And it would support all kinds of smbus
controllers. I started to look at this. But then I found this asl
snippet of my notebook:
Device(EC0_) {
Name(_HID, 0x090cd041)
Name(_CRS, Buffer(0x12) {0x47,0x1, 0x62, 0x0, 0x62, 0x0, 0x1, 0x1,
0x47, 0x1, 0x66, 0x0, 0x66, 0x0,0x1, 0x1, 0x79, 0x0 })
Name(_GPE, 0x0) Method(_Reg, 2) {[...] }
OperationRegion(SMB_, EmbeddedControl, 0x0, 0x40)
Field(SMB_, ByteAcc, Lock, Preserve) {
Offset(0x4),
CMCM, 8,
CMD1, 8,
CMD2, 8,
CMD3, 8,
Offset(0x18),
SMBP, 8,
SMBS, 8,
SMBA, 8,
SMBC, 8,
SMDD, 264
}
[2 more Field(SMB_, ...) definitions]
Mutex(MUT0, 0)
Event(SMBE)
Method(SMRE, 4) { [...] } # SMBus Read
Method(SMWE, 4) { [...] } # SMBus Write
[other methods that use SMRE&SMWR for reading temperature]
The smbus is used here (SMB_ offset 0x18 probabely is the SMB-HC[1]
register set), but no EC-SMB-HC (device with ACPI0001/ACPI0005 _HID)
here. It looks like SMBus CMI[2], but it lacks the SMBUS01 _HID (and the
_UID). So how does the os know that here's a smbus? Is it bad luck with
the supplied asl, or did I miss something?

Thanks, I'll leave it as it is now.
