actually I would prefer if we name this key KEY_RFKILL and not put the

That needs to be done in userspace and by users policy. If they wanna
map that key to ALL then that is fine. If they just wanna toggle WiFi,
then that is also fine. If the wanna have to popup some UI, that is also
reasonable.

My reasoning was that this conceptually maps to a key that controls all 
of the radios in the system - whether a single press actually kills all 
of them or not is kind of irrelevent (having the simple policy in 
rfkill-input works fine for this, but userspace will obviously want 
something more cunning). My concern with KEY_RFKILL is that it it's not 
obvious that it refers to a specific type of key - ones that purely 
control wifi should still be KEY_WLAN, for instance.
