Removed section about ncpufreqd - for some strange reason, I'm still thinking
bug #45593 will be resolved soon.

I'll create a new bugreport (another doc update with ncpufreqd and some other
things) soon. This will be blocked by two other bugreports, thus the
separation. Anyone knowing a better practice? :(

Not really; this is exactly why bugzilla's used. It tracks dependencies. I've pinged some of the mobile-developers wrt #45593, they'll put a status update on the bugreport.

It currently comes down to the fact that it's not seen as production-ready.

Perhaps you can update the update to reflect the use of PORTDIR_OVERLAY and use the files from that bugreport? With a <warn> that this is no recommended method since you're going to use an application and ebuilds that the Gentoo team don't feel as being production ready yet.

I was just told that /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state is another common location. Give me another day to include it in the ACPI scripts please.

Things changed once again and it looks like powermgmt-base doesn't find it's
way into portage in the near future. I worked around that. Sorry for flooding
your mailboxes in the last days ;)
