Thinking a bit more of this, perhaps the HW debounce support flag should be
per-GPIO-descriptor thingy. In such cases we don't need to distinguish the
platforms, the GPIO ACPI lib may simply set that flag based on 0 read from
the ACPI tables. It will also give a clue to any driver that uses GPIOs
(not only gpio-keys).
