HAL fix for multiple battaries

So, here is the bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/177570

Basically with the .24 kernel there are sysfs and proc interfaces for
many batteries making it so that HAL reports two, and thus GPM reports
two.  There is a link to a patch in upstream HAL that fixes the multiple
listing problem.  But, what it does is not list ANY proc batteries if a
sysfs one is found.  Is that correct?  Are all battery interfaces
migrated to sysfs in .24?

		TIA,
