KDE 4 apps are now integrating much better with the Apple desktop than they did before, and we are working towards KF5/Frameworks and an Apple OS X CI facility on KDE servers.

@Kai: the IOKit implementation is empty, just returns 0. If all platforms do that, then yeah, one gets the same info the same way, no matter the platform ^^

Also, we should really add Q_DECL_OVERRIDE all over the place since adding new methods at 5 different places is quite error-prone.
