It is somewhat strange that the default value to support the
depracated interface is set (1).

Anyway this has existed for years.  The previous patch already
removed the functionality to still export events through /proc.
Now this param is useless and should vanish too.

It is quite some time that this one has been deprecated.
Get rid of it.

Should some really important user be overseen, it may be reverted and
the userspace program worked on first, but it is time to do something
to get rid of this old stuff...

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.

There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since
2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro,
so it is time to say good bye.

Thanks to Julien Lerouge and Karol Kozimor for the work they have
done on it, I would never have wrote asus-laptop and other asus
related drivers without asus_acpi.

Fix scancodes returned by driver to match scancodes used to remap keys.

(Before the patch FN/E returned scancode 0x1B, but to remap scancode
0x14 had to be used).

The scancodes returned by the sony-laptop driver for function keys did not
match the scancodes used to remap keys.  Also, since the scancode was sent
to the input subsystem after the mapped keysym the /lib/udev/keymap
utility was confused about which scancode to report for which keysym.

This patch fixes the driver so the correct scancode is shown for each
key.  It also adds to the documentation a description of where to find
the scancodes.
