[PATCH] dell-wmi: add module param to control Dell Instant Launch hotkey processing

[MichaÅ KÄpieÅ]

On some laptop models (e.g. Dell Vostro V131), pressing the Dell Instant
Launch hotkey does not raise an i8042 interrupt - only WMI event 0xe025
is generated.  As there is no flawless way to determine whether a given
machine is capable of simulating a keypress when this hotkey is pressed,
a new module parameter is added so that the user can decide whether the
WMI event should be processed or ignored.

As my last message [1] in the rather lengthy thread failed to elicit any
response, I guess I might just as well post the proposed patch so that
we have something specific to discuss.
