That seems unlikely - there is wistron_btns already in the kernel already and 
it seems to handle most notebooks that also work with acerhk. I think kernel 
people do not like to have code that does the same thing in the kernel twice. I 
do not really know how to get my laptop supported in there - I tried to mail 
the author/maintainer of wistron_btns but he did not respond. I may re-email 
him, but then there is the problem that my laptop seems to produce no useful 
output to dmicode so it is impossible to recognize in software. Or should I 
mail someone else - I do not really know how these things work, kernel looks so 
scary...
