Latitude e6220 "Unknown Device"

I was just re-installing Windows 7 x64 on a Dell Latitude e6220. After installing drivers, there was one "Unknown Device" in device manager. In Properties -> Details, the Hardware Id is listed as:

ACPI\SMO8800
SMO8800

Turns out this is a driver for the hard drive's free fall sensor. Go to dell support, select computer type and your operating system. Select the "Application" category and you will see:

ST Microelectronics-Driver
Applies to: Free Fall Sensor
