Why would user chose one setup over another? I.e do we really need a
module option or maybe we should pick up behavior and stick to it?

When Acer notebook ship with Windows, they will preload a userland
application, the name is Launch Manager, it provide a GUI for end user
to change WLAN/BT/3G on/off state.

Because the Launch Manager is userland application, so wmi driver only
can provide the function for it to call and don't have any way can
detect it from kernel module.

Dmitry's point is still valid - why do we want to provide the userspace 
behaviour? Why not just handle it all in kernel using rfkill?

We don't have Launch Manager for Linux, and quite frankly, I hope we never see 
it - relying on random, vendor specific applications to drive this kind of 
functionality is just asking for trouble.
