Problem Description: Smart Battery not recognized by driver, even though i2c tools show it to be there 

Sensors-detect detects a Smart Battery, and i2cdetect shows why: 

# i2cdetect -y 0 
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 0b -- -- -- --

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                         

I believe that the device at 0x0b is a smart battery because (1) the 
manufacturer told me the device had a smart battery on SMBus, (2) I can dump
its contents and watch values within the register change in ways that make it really look like a battery.  In particular, the stuff at 0x0c-0c0f looks
like battery voltage or charge level (not sure of the scale)... it goes 
up when AC plugged in, down when discharging the battery.  0x2f looks like
it represents the AC adapter state somehow; it takes different values when
the AC is plugged in or not.

# i2cdump -y 0 0x0b

However, I can load the sbs and sbshc drivers and nothing happens (no battery information in /sys/ or /proc/ ACPI trees, only an AC adapter which claims to be always on, which is what my DSDT tells ACPI to say... see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9137)

Any help appreciated!
