Windows 8 requires all backlight interfaces to report 101 brightness
values, and as a result we're starting to see machines with that many
brightness levels in _BCL. For machines which send these notifications
when the brightness up/down keys are pressed this means a lot of key
presses to get any kind of noticeable change in brightness.
For a while now we've had the ability to disable in-kernel handling of
notifications via the video.brightness_switch_enabled parameter. Change
this to default to off, and let userspace choose more reasonable
increments for changing the brightness.
