Comment (by dwmw2):

 A kernel with the new battery class and uevents both hooked up is at
 http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/RPMS/i586/kernel-2.6.22-20070620.5.olpc.d2e64c5b3239a02.i586.rpm

 Make sure you're using a relatively recent OpenFirmware release (such as
 Q2C18).

 Note that you'll probably get four uevents when you apply AC or remove it.
 We get two interrupts -- one for the AC change and one for the battery
 status change (charging vs. discharging). But we can't yet tell the
 difference when we receive those interrupts, so each one generates a
 uevent on _both_ AC and battery devices. Hence four in total.

 We'll fix the EC so that we can tell the difference between AC and battery
 related interrupts.
