[Bug 1274560] [NEW] make sure urfkill and acpi-support don't conflict getting soft killswitch input events

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Public bug reported:

Both will likely try to retrieve input device events for soft
killswitches (for instance, Fn-F5 on a Thinkpad, which is supposed to
toggle the soft killswitch)

They should not conflict, urfkill should be able to centrally manage all
the killswitch events itself rather than via acpi-support.
