    hp/pavilion_m6_1035dx: Shutdown on low battery with non-ACPI OS
    
    Intercept the low battery SMI from the EC, and shut down the system
    immediately. The EC only sends this SMI when the OS did not enable
    ACPI mode, so ACPI OSes are not affected by this.
    On the other hand, payloads such as GRUB or SeaBIOS will experience
    the shutdown. This behavior is helpful for protecting the battery, for
    example, when the OS fails to boot and we are stuck in the payload.
    The low battery SMI is triggered at 10% charge, at which point the risk
    of cell degradation exists.
