        Patch from Matthew Garrett <mjg59 at srcf.ucam.org>.

        Two patches attached: 1) Changes the ACPI addon to report the type
        of button pressed as well as the fact that a button has been
        pressed. 2) Adds a keyboard addon. The included fdi file will bind
        it to anything that has type input.keyboard. It adds the
        capability "button" to the keyboard devices, and on any keypress
        checks the key against a table. If the key is found there, a
        ButtonPressed event is generated with the name of the key in the
        details field (one exception - KEY_SUSPEND is given the name
        "hibernate").

        There's a couple of extra features that could be added (export a
        list of the available keys, for instance - not very helpful on
        PS/2, but useful on USB), but could these be applied as is for
        now?

        * hald/linux2/probing/shared.h: Move drop_privileges here so other
        code can use it too.

        * hald/linux2/addons/Makefile.am: Add build rules for
        hald-addon-keybaord

        * hald/linux2/addons/addon-acpi.c: Also send button.type as part
        of the event

        * hald/linux2/addons/addon-keyboard.c: New file. Also set
        button.type to "" and button.has_state to FALSE
