PATCH 4/6 misc: add dell-wmi driver for hotkey control

From: Matthew Garrett <[email protected]>

Add a WMI driver for Dell laptops. Currently it does nothing but send a generic input event when a button with a picture of a battery on it is pressed, but maybe other uses will appear over time.

Andrew,
you already forwarded this one to Linus a few days ago and it is upstream.

I'll move it to the proper directory at some point.

thanks,

Looks like I screwed up and caused this patch to get dropped. Here it is picked up again, ported on top of 2.6.29.

Matthew, should we proceed with this on in the mix?

thanks,
