SRU JUSTIFICAITON
===================
On thinkpad Edge with RTL8192SE wifi device, wifi on/off hotkey does
not work. Enabled RFKILL in the rtl8192se module to enable this
hotkey.

IMPACT
=======
The change is limited to Makefile, it enables -DCONFIG_RTL_RFKILL
(-DCONFIG_CFG_80211 also need to be enabled as per comment in the
Makefile).

TEST
=====
The new driver was tested by  Steve Magoun and reported to work. Test
kernel can be found in,
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~manjo/maveric/lp640992/
