RFC: Support setting ACPI platform profiles

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/kbroulik/platform_profiles into master

This allows to switch between different ACPI platform profiles, such as "low power", "cool", "balaned", or "performance".

It adds an action that can be configured to switch automatically on AC (un)plugging or low power, as well as exposes that setting on DBus for a future Battery Monitor UI.

Uses https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/20201218174759.667457-2-markpearson@lenovo.com/

Haven't actually managed to get this working on my ThinkPad yet but it seemed straightforward enough to implement blindly.

  • TODO: nicer UX ;)
  • TODO: should we set some profile by default on AC or bat?
