acpi_drv will try to load all known vendor specific modules. Once one
module is loaded successfully, it's believed a vendor specific module
is found and function.

The guidance is 'acpi_ + vendor name'. For example, acpi_toshiba,
acpi_dell, acpi_lenovo, etc.

I did a research on other vendors' hotkey implementation, they are
either based on ACPI or they can generate scan code like other normal
key. For the first case, acpi_xxxx can handle;  For the second case,
they can be handled by current keyboard drivers.
