I demand that Alan Jenkins may or may not have written...

And I have no problem with modifying eeepc-acpi-scripts accordingly: adding
documentation ("How to break your 701"), and generating a warning and not
altering the SHE setting if this option is missing and the script is being
run on a 701.

We'll need to support current and older kernels for a while yet...

Agreed.
