Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can be

of the mask is, therefore, highly dependent on the ThinkPad model.
The driver will filter out any unmasked hotkeys, so even if the firmware
doesn't allow disabling an specific hotkey, the driver will not report
events for unmasked hotkeys.
Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior. For
example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable
Bluetooth by itself.
Bluetooth by itself in firmware.
Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI.
For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM" buttons
do not generate ACPI events even with this driver. They *can* be used
through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/
Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI
depending on the ThinkPad model and firmware version. On those
ThinkPads, it is still possible to support some extra hotkeys by
polling the "CMOS NVRAM" at least 10 times per second. The driver
attempts to enables this functionality automatically when required.
