+ *  06-February-2009: Version 0.1:
+ *    - first relase, containing absolutely no bugs! ;)
+ *
+ *  06-February-2009: Version 0.1.1:
+ *    - found first bug :-) - it didn't check the bios vendor
+ *    - check if the bios vendor is Acer
+ *    - added bios 3301
+ *
+ *  06-February-2009: Version 0.1.2:
+ *    - added fork for deamon mode, now a real daemon is spawned
+ *    - added device vendor "INSYDE"
+ *
+ *  13-February-2009: Version 0.2:
+ *    - ported to kernelspace
+ *
+ *  19-February-2009: Version 0.2.1:
+ *    - added Bios Version 3308
+ *    - cleaned up the includes
+ *
+ *  21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2:
+ *    - changed settings for Bios 3309 as old settings caused lock ups
+ *      - thanks to Frank Reimann
+ *
+ *  21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2-2:
+ *    - added linux/sched.h to includes again, as it won't compile for
+ *      kernel < 2.6.28 without it.
+ *
+ *  23-February-20009: Version 0.3:
+ *    - tied to termal layer
+ *    - added parameters to /sys/modules/acerhdf/parameters/
