Add acer wmi hotkey event support. Install a wmi notify handler to
transfer wmi event key to key code, then send out keycode through acer
wmi input device to userland.
What hardware is this for? Up to now, all Acer hardware I'm aware of has 
always sent key codes. This and the other patch seem to be for something 
that's quite different to the current batch of hardware supported by acer-wmi?
The hardware is Acer TravelMate 8572, the machine send out key code:
volume up/down, mute, brightness up/down 
So, the above hotkeys work fine.

But, it send out wmi event for: 
wifi key (the same with communication key), P key (a special program
key), touchpad, video mode switch. 

My patch work for translate those wmi event to key code.


Thank's
Joey Lee
