How should userspace test CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT to determine whether
it's safe to start the daemon?  With the old core, debian-eeepc
scripts check if the module rfkill-input exists (which should work
even if it's built in).  If it exists, the scripts don't perform any
rfkill actions.  (Yeah, according to the doc this is not allowed
because the scripts don't use "claim", but you can see how it's
useful).

The new rfkill-input isn't a module, so I'm not sure how your daemon
would test for it.

Maybe we should add an ioctl that disables rfkill-input if present.

Sounds good.
