the power button does produce real down/up events, but until today,
when we released new EC firmware, both down and up came right
together, independent of how long the button was held.  plus, the
power button appears on a different input device than the rest of the
keyboard, which shouldn't confuse things, but might.

the new EC code produces real PRESSED and RELEASED events which the
kernel now translates to to real key down/up input events.  ben needed
this for the android power dialog, which relies on timing the button
press duration in order to pop up the menu.  it's vaguely possible
that this change also fixes the screenshot combo.
