We are NOT going to have any kind of RFKILL policy in the kernel in the
future. We will remove rfkill-input once we have a proper userspace
solution (aka rfkilld or similar).
We seem to be talking at cross purposes here. My objection to the name 
KEY_RFKILL is that it gives no indication what it's meant to be or why 
it's different to KEY_WLAN. KEY_RFKILL implies that it's the only input 
component that an rfkill policy agent needs to listen to, which isn't 
the case.
