Aside from scripts (which work great on X220), we need to figure out
what is wrong with Lenovo and what is wrong with acpi_video and get them
to meet in the middle.

I've had marginal success rewriting acpi_handles for just the brightness
methods, but basically Lenovo has some weird acpi locations that don't
seem to work, or need a trapdoor we're not doing. Usually one does work,
but acpi_video doesn't attach to the working ones.
