Rfkill-input is an implementation of default policy of handling
wifi-related key presses, it is not mandatory and should not be
required for a driver to operate, it may even not be present in the
kernel and therefore module_init is the appropriate time for its
initialization. We don't expect user to start pushing WIFI buttons
while system just starting to boot up, do we?
