Add trivial driver to disable Intel Smart Connect
Intel Smart Connect is an Intel-specific ACPI interface for configuring devices to wake up at regular intervals so they can pull down mail or other internet updates, and then go to sleep again. If a user enables this in Windows and then reboots into Linux, the device may wake up if it's put to sleep. Since there's no Linux userland support for any of this, the machine will then remain awake until something else puts it back to sleep. I haven't figured out all that much about how this works (there's a bunch of different ACPI calls available on the device), but this seems to be enough to turn it off. We can add more features to this driver if anyone ever cares about figuring out what the rest of the calls do or writing some Linux userspace to implement the rest of it.
