Subject: [PATCH] reverse CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT default

Sigh.  Again an ACPI assault on the Thinkpad's Fn+F4 to suspend to RAM.
The default and text for CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED were fixed
in -rc3, but now 14e04fb34ffa82ee61ae69f98d8fca12d2e8e31c introduces
CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT default n to disable it again.  Change default
to y, and add comment to make it clearer that n is for future distros.
