Laptop Mode Tools 1.72.2

Bug fix release.

• Extend blacklist device types to include devices of type 'sd'.

Enabling power saving on 'sd' type devices leads to device being aggressively offlined by the kernel. Looks like the device type does not have an operational low-power mode, and instead it prefers to offline the device. See bug #123 for details.

1.71 - Thu Jan 12 13:30:50 IST 2017
    * Fix incorrect import of os.putenv
    * Merge pull request #74 from Coucouf/fix-os-putenv
    * Fix documentation on where we read battery capacity from
    * cpuhotplug: allow disabling specific cpus
    * Merge pull request #78 from aartamonau/cpuhotplug
    * runtime-pm: refactor listed_by_id()
    * wireless-power: Use iw and fallback to iwconfig if it not available
    * Prefer available AC supply information over battery state to determine ON_AC
    * On startup, we want to force the full execution of LMT.
    * Device hotplugs need a forced execution for LMT to apply the proper settings
    * runtime-pm: Refactor list_by_type()
    * kbd-backlight: New module to control keyboard backlight brightness
    * Include Transmit power saving in wireless cards
    * Don't run in a subshell
    * Try harder to check battery charge
    * New module: vgaswitcheroo
    * Revive bluetooth module. Use rfkill primarily. Also don't unload (incomplete list of) kernel modules

* Deal harder with broken battery states
* On machines with 2+ batteries, determine states from all batteries
* Limit status message logging frequency. Some machines tend to send
  ACPI events too often. Thanks Maciej S. Szmigiero
* Try harder to determine power states. As reports have shown, the
  power_supply subsystem has had incorrect state reporting on many machines,
  for both, BAT and AC.
* Relax conditional events where Laptop Mode Tools should be executed. This
  affected for use cases of Laptop being docked and undocked
  Thanks Daniel Koch.
* CPU Hotplug settings extended
* Cleanup states for improved Laptop Mode Tools invocation
  Thanks: Tomas Janousek
* Align Intel P State default to what the actual driver (intel_pstate.c) uses
  Thanks: George Caswell and Matthew Gabeler-Lee
* Add support for AHCI Runtime PM in module intel-sata-powermgmt
* Many systemd and initscript fixes
* Relax default USB device list. This avoids the long standing issues with
  USB devices (mice, keyboard) that mis-behaved during autosuspend
