I feel like I'm missing something here, but surely what we're talking 
about is simply a single rfkill device that affects all radios and as 
such should have a new RFKILL_TYPE_ALL type associated with it? I'd read 
this as there being a software control that affected all radios. If 
there's no software control at all then I agree that providing an rfkill 
class here isn't appropriate.
