Ah, OK. I did not get this before. Then, we've got a problem. I mean,
when looking at the different implementations of the drivers it is
obvious that this will not work at all. For example, I'm thinking of
the Toshiba HCI which needs to be polled to get hotkey information...

So, I'd really appreciate to see a comment from Len about his thoughts
which way to go.
