The point of doing global stuff is to do rfkill-input in userspace, the way
userspace might want to do it.

Without the global state being exposed, userspace really can't do anything
properly, and rfkill-input is needed for any semblance of good rfkill input
event handling.

I can't say I strongly want it, since I am happy enough with rfkill-input,
though.  But the API to userspace _is_ incomplete if the global states and
global functionality are not exposed.
