Mainlining effort #81

I know the issue has been already brought up in #29, but it was 7 years ago, so maybe it's time to rethink it. Is there any plan to submit acpi_call for inclusion in the mainline Linux kernel?

dkms makes it easy to compile and install the module from source, but in many distributions using dkms weakens the UEFI secure boot, so it is better to avoid it when possible.

Thanks!
