hotkey/video framework [was: ibm-acpi-0.2]

Hi,

'Fn key combination' is common on machines,
so I think we need some abstraction layer or framework on acpi core.

I wrote acpi driver for Panasonic Let's note laptops recentry.
It supports lcd brightness control and hotkey.
Toshiba and asus driver also support hotkey combination.

How do you think about hotkey framework?
Does anyone already work for it?

eg) 

proc interface:
/proc/acpi/hotkey/keymap   --- key num - event meaning map
/proc/acpi/hotkey/mask     --- hotkey enable/disable mask.
/proc/acpi/event           --- send hotkey event to acpid
/proc/acpi/video/lcd/brightness  --- control lcd brightness
/proc/acpi/video/outdev    --- control video output (lcd/crt)
/proc/acpi/ibm/*           --- vendor specific devices conrol


Source tree:
drivers/acpi/video.c      -- video/lcd abstraction driver.
drivers/acpi/hotkey.c     -- hotkey abstraction driver.
drivers/acpi/oem/asus_acpi.c
drivers/acpi/oem/toshiba-acpi.c
drivers/acpi/oem/pcc-acpi.c
drivers/acpi/oem/ibm-acpi.c    -- vendor specific drivers.
				which implement hotkey, video, and lcd etc.
