Bug: #297213

Hardy had two drivers which handled the HardDisk Active
Protection System (hdaps and hdaps_ec) which is present in IBM
ThinkPads.  One of the two drivers was dropped when Intrepid
development began and due to that there are a number of ThinkPads
(newer models) for which this is not supported.

This patch brings back in the missing driver.

The code for this patch was taken from http://tpctl.sourceforge.net
and is the 0.40 release of December 16, 2008.
