I'm against putting workarounds into udev just because kernel
maintainers refuse to give any feedback on evdev patches. With proper
evdev event masks, we can just open _any_ evdev device that has
KEY_POWER (and friends) enabled, but get woken up only for events
we're interested in. It would make all these whitelists obsolete.

Initial reaction of Dmitry (in April) was "That is something I had in
mind for a long time, great job!". Since then, I haven't heard a word
about the 4 further resends.. But at least I assume that the
event-masks are a reasonable feature, so I see little reason in
putting workarounds into udev. I just somehow need to figure out how
to get this upstream..

Sorry!
