-a.add a polling based hotkey(event) :

-this adding command will create a proc file

-echo "event_num:event_type:event_argument" >

-The result of the execution of this aml method is
-attached to /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_method, which is dynamically
-created. Please use command "cat /proc/acpi/hotkey/polling_method"
-to retrieve it.

-Note: Use cmdline "acpi_generic_hotkey" to over-ride
-platform-specific with generic driver.

-What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY)
-When: 2.6.21
-Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use
- ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented
- in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented
- vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than
- the same.
-
- Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform
- are different, so there will always be a need for
- platform-specific drivers.
-
- So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the
- platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same
- to the user when they supply the same features.
-
- hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

When: 2.6.21
Why: The ACPI namespace is effectively the symbol list for
