[PATCH 2.4.8-ac5] Another Sony Vaio laptop with a broken APM...

[Stelian Pop <stelian.pop@fr.alcove.com>]

Hi,

This patch adds yet another Vaio laptop to the list of those
having the APM minutes left swapping problem.

However, the Vaio bioses list is getting bigger and bigger
and I wonder if there is _any_ Vaio laptop that gets this
item right. If not, we could just do a search on SYS_VENDOR /
PRODUCT_NAME strings, like the is_sony_vaio_laptop test...

Comments ?

In the meanwhile, Alan, please apply.

Stelian.
