To be honest, the generic hotkey driver seems to be something of a nasty
hack. It effectively exposes large parts of ACPI to userspace, but with
a very limited API and various artificial limitations. Is there any
reason why we don't shift to dev_acpi
(http://free.linux.hp.com/~awilliam/acpi/dev_acpi/) and have a userspace
application dealing with hotkey events? It would seem to be much more
flexible.
