Looks good; any chance you can

 1) rebase to HEAD
 2) fix up coding style to match the rest of the source code?

thanks!

Also, you mentioned somewhere else that this has issues with suspend? What were those?

Pushed to master:

add support for the macbook backlight

Apply a patch from Ryan Lortie <desrt@desrt.ca> to support the Macbook
backlight.
The code was written after the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext kernel
extension was reverse engineered by Ryan.

Rebased to master, and CodingStyle corrected by me, no other changes.
