Subject2.6.32.y needs ACPI workaround on ASUS K50IJ
Hello,

ASUS K50IJ needs the following ACPI workaround on 2.6.32.y (2.6.33+ is
fine).

Since many distros are based / basing on 2.6.32.y i think it makes sense
to include the fix in the upstream stable tree :)

ACPI: disable _OSI(Windows 2009) on Asus K50IJ

Fix a win7 compability issue on Asus K50IJ.

Here is the _BCM method of this laptop:
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
If (LGreaterEqual (OSFG, OSVT))
{
If (LNotEqual (OSFG, OSW7))
{
Store (One, BCMD)
Store (GCBL (Arg0), Local0)
Subtract (0x0F, Local0, LBTN)
^^^SBRG.EC0.STBR ()
...
}
Else
{
DBGR (0x0B, Zero, Zero, Arg0)
Store (Arg0, LBTN)
^^^SBRG.EC0.STBR ()
...
}
}
}
LBTN is used to store the index of the brightness level in the _BCL.
GCBL is a method that convert the percentage value to the index value.
If _OSI(Windows 2009) is not disabled, LBTN is stored a percentage
value which is surely beyond the end of _BCL package.
