Sure.  I limited it to CAP_SYS_ADMIN now, which usually means root.

The patch will be sent for merging, but I can't promise it will be 
merged
before the next merge window for 2.6.34, and only after that will it be
a cantidade for a 2.6.32.y stable.

Patch attached for reference.
   
   Adding sta...@kernel.org to CC. Please apply for 2.6.32.x :
   This was merged in Linus' git as b525c06cdbd8a3963f0173ccd23f9147d4c384b5
  
  They should already have it somewhere in their queue, since I have Cc'd them
  in the git commit message, which I understand is automatically parsed when
  the commit gets merged in mainline.
 
 Yes, I applied it to the .33.1 release.  But it does not apply cleanly
 to the .32 kernel.  If you wish to see it there, please, can someone
 provide me with a backported version?

Will do, it will be in the next batch of -stable thinkpad-acpi fixes.
