I can't shed a lot of light on this from the point of view of fujitsu-laptop. It appears that the evaluation of _INI was added to fujitsu-laptop as part of the patch which added support for hotkeys present on some Fujitsu laptops. This patch was contributed by Peter Gruber - I've added him to the CC. Perhaps he might explain why he added _INI evaluation as part of this patch (that is, what problem was encountered which required evaluation of _INI).
