Well, in the changelog of the embedded controller firmware
(ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1uhj07us.txt) there is:
- (New) Support for IBM Hard Disk Active Protection System.
I would conclude that the embedded controller is involved
with the HDAPS!
Just my two cents.

OK, awesome. This gives us pretty much a where to go from now.
Should the IBM-ACPI project have anything to do with this? I mean, we should, or could be getting more -vvv information from ecdump or the fact that because this is attached to the embedded controller makes things harder?
Just to add a few more cents, googling around I found that Paul Sladen
has already been looking for some info on the chip. Started to RE the
windows driver, this kind of info _might_ be useful :
Windows drivers read in 28-bytes via an IOCTL(0x733fc) on "\ShockMgr" .
(See shockprf.sys)

PS: I don't know Paul Sladen's address and couldn't find it on his
webpage. Hopping this email address will do it anyway.
