Provide an extremely lightweight "tiny power button" driver to handle this event by signaling init directly, rather than running a separate daemon (such as acpid or systemd-logind) that adds to startup time and VM image complexity. I originally proposed a change to the ACPI power button driver to introduce an optional path to signal init, but Rafael expressed a preference to have this as a separate, mutually exclusive driver instead. The result did come out much simpler, conceptually, with the added benefit of being able to disable CONFIG_INPUT entirely for a kernel that exclusively targets cloud/VM systems. The first patch in the series just moves HID definitions to acpi/button.h in preparation for sharing them with the tiny-power-button driver. The second patch provides the driver itself.
