RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED indicates that the hardware is disabled in a
way that userspace can't influence, so sounds like exactly the right
state to have here. I still have absolutely no idea what b43 rfkill is
supposed to be doing - why on earth is it requesting rfkill-input, and
why does it generate keypress events? I /think/ it should e something
like the following (untested, I'm not near any of my b43 hardware at the
moment). This basically does the following:

1) Split the update function in two, so it can be called by either
polling or an interrupt driven event on newer hardware (not implemented
yet)
2) Remove all the input handling
3) Change the state updates to use rfkill_force_state, which will
generate an event that gets sent up to userland
4) Retains the RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED code

When the user flicks a switch or presses a button that physically
disables the radio, the state will now automatically change to
RFKILL_STATE_HARD_BLOCKED. If they have a key that generates KEY_WLAN
but doesn't change the radio state, rfkill-input will trigger a change
to RFKILL_STATE_SOFT_BLOCKED.

Like I said, this is only build-tested - I won't be back at a b43 until
next week. If someone could give this a go, that would be great.
