My reasoning was that this conceptually maps to a key that controls all
of the radios in the system - whether a single press actually kills all
of them or not is kind of irrelevent (having the simple policy in
rfkill-input works fine for this, but userspace will obviously want
something more cunning). My concern with KEY_RFKILL is that it it's not
obvious that it refers to a specific type of key - ones that purely
control wifi should still be KEY_WLAN, for instance.
