thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionality
The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event
model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver.
Remove this functionality from the driver. HKEY must be enabled at
all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise.
For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs
rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes. This will be
done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel
releases, remove the attributes.
For procfs, we call WARN(). If nothing triggers it, I will simply
remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with
the sysfs attributes.
I don't expect much, if any fallout from this. There really isn't any
reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands
to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...
