+Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space,

 Force loading of module
 -----------------------
 
 If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify
 the module parameter force_load=1.  Regardless of whether this works or
 not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report.
