Hello, maybe a stupid question, but why to not report both events "key 
pressed" and "key released" to userspace? IIRC kernel input layer can 
distinguish between these two type of events. But in intel-vbtn.c source 
code I see that all "release" ACPI events are ignored and just "press" 
are processed.
