Phctool patch for 2.6.36 kernels

Here comes a bug solution for Phctool, committed in gentoo package 0.5.2-2-r1 and developed by me :]

Phctool python-based graphic interface seems to not work due to the way CPUs id is defined. Looks like it's based still on /proc/acpi/processor/CPU./info which is no more present in my system. It looks like that kernel 2.6.36 and later doesn't support those deprecated /proc/acpi directories even with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS enabled.

Laptop modding: install usb on mini PCI-e

Hey guys,

some time passed, but still some hot stuff for you. If you have a laptop, you've experience the "damn, no free USB... it s*cks".

I have the solution... obviously not for everybody... be sure you have an idea of what you're doing...
