The vaio module is in fact able to understand if a Sony laptop is used. The 
module UI is disabled in case no appropriate hardware is found. It will be 
easy to publish this information through the API to allow kcontrol to hide 
the module. 

Regarding merging, all kmilo modules should be moved into one module ("special 
hardware"?), I guess. kmilo does only load required and working modules 
anyway. 

I cannot do it though, see the other post. 

Best reards,
