Yeah, but it would be bad for the documentation, and SW_RADIO was
renamed because it was an error-inducer, so I *really* don't want to
attract any more eyes to rfkill WITHOUT getting that error-inducing
define renamed first.

OTOH, I don't want the clashes thinkpad-acpi init changes to cause a
mess for whomever is going to merge rfkill, as even if I submit them
now, the rfkill changes are next- material, while the thinkpad-acpi
changes are merge-them-ASAP material.

I will talk to Andrew Morton and see if he accepts to push the two
thinkpad-acpi changes to Linus ASAP.  Or maybe we will luck out and Len
will show up in 72h, I think he is bound to come back really soon now.
