thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: sysfs attribute hotkey_enable is deprecated and will be removed. Hotkey reporting is always enabled

[Bruno Girin]

Not sure if this is the same problem as Bug #430361 so I'm reporting it separately. This happens on a ThinkPad T42 running the newly released Karmic from a clean install. I can't identify any exact trigger for the problem but it occurs repeatedly.
