Please take a look at 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5749

There are some examples to use hotkey.c for specific laptops with dedicated
hotkey acpi device objects , and dedicated AML methods.
This patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5749#c3

This patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5749#c4
