IOW, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems to me that user_claim_unsupported
really is a wrong name for "has hw kill", which could be avoided if sw
and hw kill were a different thing and the rfkill structure was only
used, as I'm proposing, for hw kill and sw kill _notifications_, but not
the sw kill operation itself.
