-driver/acpi/hotkey.c implement:
-1. /proc/acpi/hotkey/event_config 
-(event based hotkey or event config interface):
-a. add a  event based hotkey(event) : 
-echo "0:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config
-
-b. delete a event based hotkey(event): 
-echo "1:::::num:num" > event_config
-
-c.  modify a event based hotkey(event):    
-echo "2:bus::action:method:num:num" > event_config
-
-2. /proc/acpi/hotkey/poll_config 
-(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 
-/proc/acpi/hotkey/method, which is used to get 
-result of polling.
-
-b.delete a polling based hotkey(event): 	
-echo "1:::::num" > event_config
-
-c.modify a polling based hotkey(event):    
-echo "2:bus:method:action:method:num" > poll_config
-
-3./proc/acpi/hotkey/action 
-(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
