Hi all,

Please consider the following sauce patch for Ubuntu Maverick.

SRU JUSTIFICATION
================

IMPACT
======
Newer thinkpads from Lenovo have HKEY_HID "LEN0068" instead of HKEY_HID 
"IBM0068" this prevents the module from autoloading, losing support 
for hotkeys.

FIX
===
Patch to add new HKEY_HID "LEN0068" to thinkpad acpi module.

TEST
====
Patch tested by me on Lenovo x120 and by James Furgeson on other thinkpad 
models.

The following changes since commit 98e5bbf03976d01a116c000ec141ec7b5325f759:

  UBUNTU: Ubuntu-2.6.35-28.50 (2011-03-13 09:54:14 -0700)
