I don't know if it is necessarily useful thing to report, but I have
pulled it into RELENG_7 (as of August 29th) and so far I have not seen
lookups, which were my regular fare with 0.9.20.3 and powerd.

I see a lot of "bogus rix..." and "bogus ndx0..." messages flying by,
but since nobody promised that this should work on RELENG_7, I don't
think they are worth reporting ;)

My hardware is ThinkPad X60:

Those having troubles with 0.9.x.x should be able to pull it in without
much difficulty, at least to give it a try.

Thank you very much for doing this work!
