Subject: how to disable the button kernel module?

I realize that /button/ is a kernel built-in and therefore cannot be disabled
via the /blacklist=<module_name>/ boot parameter. So I thought I'd try
/initcall_blacklist=<function>/ but I cannot find an obvious module
initialization function in button.c

Please, how would one disable the /button/ module? Either using the
/initcall_blacklist=foo/ or some other method is fine, as long as it does
not involve recompiling the kernel. 

Thanks,
Bruno GNUser
