maybe see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt:

...
---------------------------

What:   ACPI procfs interface
When:   July 2008
Why:    ACPI sysfs conversion should be finished by January 2008.
        ACPI procfs interface will be removed in July 2008 so that
        there is enough time for the user space to catch up.
Who:    Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>

---------------------------

What:   /proc/acpi/button
When:   August 2007
Why:    /proc/acpi/button has been replaced by events to the input layer
        since 2.6.20.
Who:    Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

---------------------------

What:   /proc/acpi/event      
When:   February 2008
Why:    /proc/acpi/event has been replaced by events via the input layer
        and netlink since 2.6.23.
Who:    Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10811)
