> I'm still pondering about the microphone mute. Should this be handled like the all the other volume buttons, which seem to work without touching the fujitsu-laptop.c driver? I have no idea how these other buttons are forwarded to the sound drivers.

They are not forwarded to sound drivers.  Your desktop environment is
supposed to listen to these input events and apply the requested changes
to mixer settings.

Like inside the kernel?  Erm, no, please, no.  Userspace is the place to
do this, same as for brightness hotkeys.  If you ask me, I would just
prefer the firmware to handle all hotkeys by itself, without even
notifying the OS, but this is the brave new world we live in and if the
firmware is only able to produce input events instead of changing
hardware state, let's at least not make these events trigger some sort
of inter-module interaction because that way lies madness.
