This will be a behavioral change for many users where their F-keys will
now all of a sudden work different after boot under Linux then they
did before.

As such this seems like a bad idea, so I'm not going to merge this patch.

What might be an option is adding a module-option which allows users to
configure the default setting at boot that way, while keeping the current
default.

Regards,

Hans
