(Get the code!)
I cannot see anything insecure in the way acpi_fakekey works. After all, it's a root-only feature.
More than that, 'setkeycodes' allows to achieve similar results to my proposed patch by mapping a wild guess keycode to the wanted keys. However, the solution is not portable, because it requires a keycode, which is guaranteed not to be present on all boxes.
