>Description:
	APM 1.1 can handle

		abstract capacity: high / low / critical
		charging status:   charging / not charging
		battery presence:  present / not present

	separately but our apm(4) interface mixes them (like APM 1.0).

	This make it impossible to pass APM information such as
	"capacity low *and* charging", which becomes just "capacity high".

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try apm(8) or xbatt(1) (pkgsrc/sysutils/xbatt) and you will
	never see that the battery is in "charging" state.

>Fix:
	Make changes to struct apm_power_info and the ioctl.
