Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Capture cable events created by Alienware GFX Amplifier.

These events are outputted via the keyboard controller.
Right now the only actionable event is to restart the system
if the cable is removed,  but the others are documented in
case they will be bubbled up to other parts of the kernel or
userspace later on.
