Well, I've no much Sony laptops around me to test. Also, different series of
Sony laptops
are rather different in ACPI methods (e.g. C series and SZ series)

Modified sources are inspired by  Linux sony-laptop driver. duplicates
initialization code of SPIC,
event handling and so on. However - AFAIK - linux driver does no special
tricks at power off stage, it is just
dettached, device file in /dev destroyed in so on, but Linux (Ubuntu 7.10)
it still possible to power
off correctly.
