Bug description:
  [Impact] 
   * People buying thinkpad hardware are not able to use a mic mute key, that comes with 
     their machine

  [Test Case]

   * Press mic mute key
   * Observe that nothing happens

  [Regression Potential]

   * Very low. This is very isolated code. All it does is add functionality. In fact there 
     are very few deletions in the diffs.

   * There is an existing acpi solution, that's already been mentioned in this bug. I'm 
     not sure how these users would be affected once the upgrade hits, but it was never 
     released as an official fix.

  [Original Report]

  Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything.  It
  should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led
  that is part of the button.

  acpi_listen output:

  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
