I think that AK_INT should not generate key press event. Permanently
pressed key could confuse many programs.

But we may want to use switch events. I propose to create new switch
event for it: SW_REMOTE_INSERT. But mapping of AK_INT to
SW_REMOTE_INSERT cannot be straightforward.

That is why I propose to ignore AK_INT for now.

Following implementation may be used later (with future resistor matrix
keyboard driver):

Map SPITZ_GPIO_HP_IN to SW_JACK_PHYSICAL_INSERT (after debouncing).

Generate SW_REMOTE_INSERT if:
- SW_JACK_PHYSICAL_INSERT is on AK_INT is active and remote pin has full
  voltage
or
- SW_JACK_PHYSICAL_INSERT is on and remote driver shows valid value

SW_REMOTE_INSERT should be recognized by the Jack abstraction layer
(sound/core/jack.c).

Well, I am thinking about defining extra values for resistors, that can
make stuff even more useful at cost of need of non-standard wiring on
fourth ring of the audio jack. It can generate SW_MICROPHONE_INSERT,
SW_LINEOUT_INSERT, and not yet defined SW_HEADESET_INSERT and
SW_LINEIN_INSERT (which would require hardware mod inside Zaurus for
stereo line-in).

The default may be SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT (short connection between remote
pin and ground).
