AMD ACPI interface may overload the standard event
ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE (0x81) to signal AMD-specific events. In such
cases we don't want to send the keypress (KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE) to the
userspace because the user did not press the mode switch key (the
spurious keypress confuses the DE which usually changes the
display configuration and messes up a dual-screen setup).
This patch gives the radeon driver the chance to examine the event and
block the keypress if the event is an "AMD event".
