acpi_lid_open() could take up to 10ms on my computer.
Some component is calling the drm GETCONNECTOR ioctl many times in a row.
This results in flickering (for example, when starting a video).
Fix it by assuming an always connected lid status.
This fixes bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14670

The patch is missing your Signed-off-by: line. I cheekily added it.
Please check Documentation/SubmittingPatches, let me know if you
disagree with this, thanks.

I'm wondering if just adding your DMI entry to
bad_lid_status[] is all that is really needed.
(this way it saves bits in the kernel).

Shouldn't this use an && test instead of a 4 space indent of a new statement?

I tried that with no success. I guess to execute the if statement the
functions acpi_lid_open() and dmi_check_system() needs to be executed
and that leads to the flickering.
maybe it helps to just reorder the if statement? first execute
dmi_check_system() and then execute acpi_lid_open(), but as both
conditions are connected via an "AND" I guess the acpi_lid_open() still
will be executed each time dmi_check_system() is executed.

Won't this lead to the execution of dmi_check_system() AND
dmi_check_system() AND acpi_lid_open() every time the
intel_lvds_detect() function is called?
And this is what I want to prevent: Do not call acpi_lid_open(), when
the system is found in the dmi table.
What do you think?
