hal will, for example, listen to the brightness buttons and send button
events across the system bus. When inputd comes in, that (and along with
it g-p-m) stops working.

Additionally, we currently have a FN mode flag inside the kernel which
could be moved to inputd, which means that inputd output needs to be
handled by hal.
