Hmmm, maybe that is provided by APM? I have to investigate, don't really
know. For historical reasons the Planet CCRMA kernel starts with acpi
enabled (Fedora's kernel starts with it disabled) so you may want to
turn that off if you need APM instead. Add "acpi=off" in the kernel boot
line.

You'll find the acpi stuff in:
  /proc/acpi/*
