I know of a dozen or so folks who are re-purposing these pins
(that's the thing about GPIOs!), but in many cases, they're
doing so by catching the input events matched as this patch
defines them .

And since this is how the schematics and hardware manuals label
the pins, this is the proper way to handle them in the default
kernel.
