eeepc-laptop rfkill, stupid question #4 and 5

Did you miss a call to rfkill_force_state() on resume?

I can hibernate, then interrupt the boot with F2 to get into the BIOS,
change the "Enable WLAN" setting, and continue the resume. When the
eeepc-laptop driver resumes, it restores the pre-hibernation value.

Actually, normal boot doesn't preserve the setting either. Your commit
changes the behaviour from the rfkill state being persistent across
reboot / power off (as a bios setting), to being always enabled on
boot. It seems like a bad idea to me.

Thanks
Alan
