APM emulation is not a replacement for pmud. It doesn't emulate all APM messages in /dev/apm_bios, only the strict minimum to get apps like X properly cleanup before suspend and restore their state after resume, and it implements /proc/apm for battery infos, but the infos there are less detailed that what pmud or the new /proc/pmu provides (the APM API is quite simplistic). I don't think anything as PC centric as apmd has room here, but I may be wrong as I didn't look at it. Ben.
