-(polling based hotkey or event config interface):
-a.add a polling based hotkey(event) : 	
-echo "0:bus:method:action:method:num" > poll_config
-this adding command will create a proc file

-result of polling.

-(interface to call aml method associated with a 
-specific hotkey(event))
-echo "event_num:event_type:event_argument" > 
-	/proc/acpi/hotkey/action.
-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
