I think ultimately the long term plan is as follows:
1. Move as much stuff to the kernel as humanly possible
2. Where it's a 100% mapping from button to event (e.g. LOCK for FnF2
for all thinkpads) emit a known (KEY_WIFI) from an input event
3. Where it's not easy, or not trivially mappable using DMI data then
emit a common FN_F2 event over INPUT that we can map with the keybinding
application or using a custom keymap.
So long term dump the toshiba, nvram addons and that sort of thing.
I'm talking to the thinkpad_acpi maintainer and plan on adding INPUT
support in pretty soon.
Richard.
