The correct way to load thinkpad-acpi by default is "thinkpad_acpi
experimental=1" (if you want experimental features).

Hotkeys are enabled by default, and with a proper default mask in any
non-ancient thinkpad-acpi version.  Messing with that by default is *not*
nice.

In fact, mask 0xffffff is bad for just about *every* thinkpad, in all
current userspace configs.  Ubuntu's hacked HAL avoid *some* of the problems
that 0xffffff causes, but not all of them, and not for all applications.

And I have a patch queued for thinkpad-acpi which will bitch about anyone
setting masks 0xffff, 0xffffff and 0xfffffffff.
