That'd be easier but a lot less flexible. Besides, I'd like to expose
the bluetooth presence and status to user space anyway. Any particular
reason not to give full control to user space? That'd be more in line
with how the other keys work, too. All of them now just generate ACPI
events and it's up to the acpid handler to make them do whatever is
necessary. I find that very useful for taking pre- and post-event
actions, or for remapping keys.

Thanks,
Boris
