Hmm I like this option(never new it existed), the only problem I'm seeing right
now is no battery info in /proc/acpi, "but there is no gpe storm which
makes me happy".
After searching I'm looking at the same as this:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2007-08/msg09525.html
Overall the outcome of using sbs is bad with the Darwin option, system
sticks after loading
the module during boot. even under different proceedures
i.g. with
sbs=only (no a/c and battery modules)
sbs+ac(module)
sbs+ac+battery(modules)
