ACPI: video: create "brightness_switch_enabled" modparam
Introduce new module parameter for brightness control. "brightness_switch_enabled" is set by default which means nothing changes upon brightness switch events. When "brightness_switch_enabled" is cleared via "echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled", ACPI will not try to change the brightness level any more. Either X will take charge of this or users can change the brightness level by poking /sys/class/backlight/acpi_videoX/...
