This does not yield correct results for me on 3.17 (or 3.17.8). Do you get
different results from the following?

dvhart@dvhart-mobl5:~/source/linux/linux-pdx86 [testing]
$ git co -b 3.17 v3.17
Checking out files: 100% (36214/36214), done.
Switched to a new branch '3.17'

Note that the DMI match blocks were stuffed in the middle of the
ideapad_acpi_add() function instead of the no_hw_rfkill.
