Comment (by cjb):

 Replying to [comment:2 ywwg]:
 > I've always thought that backlight control, volume control, and keyboard
 illumination lights (which is what I think he was referring to) should all
 be lower level -- I was thinking a system daemon at least, but maybe even
 bios level.  It's very annoying not to be able to mute sound or adjust
 brightness because the system is under load.

 The keyboard illumination lights are handled by a kernel driver, so the
 bug wouldn't make sense for them.
