	A user-space daemon, acpid, typically reads /proc/acpi/event
	and handles all ACPI-generated events.

	These events are now delivered to user-space either
	via the input layer or as netlink events.

	This build option enables the old code for legacy
	user-space implementation. After some time, this will
	be moved under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, and then deleted.

	Say Y here to retain the old behaviour. Say N if your
	user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007).
