Johannes Berg 54f586a915 rfkill: make new event layout opt-in 
Again new complaints surfaced that we had broken the ABI here,
although previously all the userspace tools had agreed that it
was their mistake and fixed it. Yet now there are cases (e.g.
RHEL) that want to run old userspace with newer kernels, and
thus are broken.

Since this is a bit of a whack-a-mole thing, change the whole
extensibility scheme of rfkill to no longer just rely on the
message lengths, but instead require userspace to opt in via a
new ioctl to a given maximum event size that it is willing to
understand.

By default, set that to RFKILL_EVENT_SIZE_V1 (8), so that the
behaviour for userspace not calling the ioctl will look as if
it's just running on an older kernel.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
