Please set hid_apple.fnmode to 2 by default

I don't know situation when on the Linux will more useful multimedia keys
instead functional. On whole internet on all forums for all Linux distribution
gives one advice to set 'hid_apple.fnmode=2' option in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Why
not this change doing in kernel by default?

This will make Linux easier for owners of apple aluminium keyboard.

Thanks.
