Right. But you'll get a bunch of people get it mixed up. I think I would
prefer adding the ioctl, but having it only when rfkill-input is
compiled in, so userspace would always just get -ENOSYS if there's no
rfkill-input present, which means the "cluttering" of the interface
occurs only for as long as we have rfkill-input and at some point you
would just remove that one line of code from rfkilld.
