Subject: ACPI / button: Add ACPI Button event via netlink routine
From: Lan Tianyu <[email protected]>
commit 0bf6368ee8f25826d0645c0f7a4f17c8845356a4 upstream.
Commit 1696d9d (ACPI: Remove the old /proc/acpi/event interface)
removed ACPI Button event which originally was sent to userspace via
/proc/acpi/event. This caused ACPI shutdown regression on gentoo
in VirtualBox. Now ACPI events are sent to userspace via netlink,
so add ACPI Button event back via netlink routine.
