add mbp_backlight entry to known /sys/class/backlight entries

Backlight can be used on macbook/macbook pros through the mbp_backlight kernel module which puts a mbp_backlight entry in /sys/class/backlight. The attached patch (which I picked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/417770 ) is needed to get backlight working on my macbook.
