Well, it is usafe because you don't someone shadow-unmuting your mic and
keeping that LED on.   You can compile the kernel with unsafe leds enabled
if you want.

I never tracked down all new leds, and lenovo started using some in
different ways.  if it is supported perfectly by /proc/acpi/ibm/led, adding
it to the driver is really trivial.  But I'd appreciate a list of the
thinkpads that have this LED, and reports that they all work well.
