257What: ACPI hotkey driver (CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY)
258When: 2.6.21
259Why: hotkey.c was an attempt to consolidate multiple drivers that use
260 ACPI to implement hotkeys. However, hotkeys are not documented
261 in the ACPI specification, so the drivers used undocumented
262 vendor-specific hooks and turned out to be more different than
263 the same.
264
265 Further, the keys and the features supplied by each platform
266 are different, so there will always be a need for
267 platform-specific drivers.
268
269 So the new plan is to delete hotkey.c and instead, work on the
270 platform specific drivers to try to make them look the same
271 to the user when they supply the same features.
272
273 hotkey.c has always depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
