That's really cool.  I'm using the code from the page I had linked to
before with 2.6.31-rc9, and the power control seems to be working
(13.4W is better than the 18W I get with the stock sony-laptop.ko).  I
can't get nvidia to load though; if I try, I get this:

# echo speed > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/speed_stamina
# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (...): No such device
# dmesg | tail

What laptop do you have?
