I don't quite agree here. The SW_RFKILL_ALL key is the one send by thinkpad-acpi,
what makes that key so special that is has to be handled differently then a key
that only controls a single radio type?

All keys should have the same rules when it is pressed, so either all keys should
force the change, or none of them should.
