Re: Regression in thinkpad-acpi events

[Natanji <natanji@gmail.com>]

thinkpad-acpi is definitely loaded:
$ lsmod | grep think
thinkpad_acpi          54704  0
snd                    43817  11
snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,thinkpad_acpi,snd_timer
rfkill                 12470  3 bluetooth,thinkpad_acpi,cfg80211
nvram                   4765  1 thinkpad_acpi

I also noticed that removing or replacing the tablet pen in its slot
still yields an ibm/hotkey acpi event. This is the output of $
acpi_listen when I do this:
ibm/hotkey IBM0068:00 00000080 0000500c
processor LNXCPU:00 00000081 00000000
processor LNXCPU:01 00000081 00000000
ibm/hotkey IBM0068:00 00000080 0000500b
processor LNXCPU:00 00000081 00000000
processor LNXCPU:01 00000081 00000000

thinkpad-acpi also shows up in kernel log:

So I suppose it is loaded alright, but just some of the events don't
work anymore at all (like for my physical rfkill switch) and/or get
overridden by other "standard" events (like with the sleep button).
