We don't have to at all - as far as I've been able to tell, the kernel
is utterly consistent in its current usage. The only drivers that emit
KEY_SLEEP are either embedded-specific (where it's clearly suspend to
RAM and not hibernate), the ACPI driver (where usage in other operating
systems is consistent with it being suspent to RAM) and the panasonic
and thinkpad drivers which use it consistently. If there's any
confusion, it's over the fact that KEY_SUSPEND is is used for suspend to
RAM in a (smaller) number of places.
I'd suggest reverting these current patches and doing something like the
following and then changing any drivers where it's worth clarifying
things. This has exactly the same effect with the advantage that no
userspace needs to be changed.
