I cannot see anything insecure in the way acpi_fakekey works. After all,
it's a root-only feature.

More than that, 'setkeycodes' allows to achieve similar results to my
proposed patch by mapping a wild guess keycode to the wanted keys.
However, the solution is not portable, because it requires a keycode,
which is guaranteed not to be present on all boxes.
