I think this is wrong. It means that if you build rfkill (e.g. for 3.2)
then it would conflict with the kernel's rfkill.

The thing is that *usually*, for >=2.6.31, you just want to use the
kernel's rfkill. So for that usage, we should backport the rfkill API,
like we usually backport things.

However, NFC probably requires a backported rfkill, not just backporting
around rfkill. For this we do need it named rfkill_backport though, I
think.

Maybe we can backport the NFC support in some other way?
