Okay, I can at least double-check that against the machines I have here!

Yeah, that's more like what I've expected. The SMAPI interface was
removed in the *20/*30 series in favor of plain ACPI and the module
should (rightfully) refuse to load if it can't find SMAPI.

The `thinkpad_ec` module has a `force_io` parameter to make it load on
*some* half-supported models, but even that shouldn't do anything when
there is no SMAPI at all.

dkms *should* properly detect any kernel changes and rebuild stuff.
