It doesn't matter much. The next rfkill patchset will remove most of that
code, anyway (and yes, I *will* make sure it doesn't have the same issue
this patch is fixing). But that's 2.6.28/2.6.29 stuff, probably 2.6.29.

I didn't send them yet because I was still changing other parts of the code
too much. I may send them soon as RFC.

In other words, don't worry too much about that maintenance annoyance in
rfkill-input. It will not be around for long.
