Public bug reported:

On a Dell Inspiron 1210 ("Mini 12"), the power-button is not recognized
with recent kernel versions.  I know it *is* recognized with the linux-
image-3.11.0-23-generic kernel (I did not test out several images to
determine exactly where the regression/bug was introduced).  The BIOS of
the Inspiron is version A04 (the latest version available).

To reproduce:

1. boot normally with a "bad" kernel version (e.g. 3.13.0-32-generic, as provided in Ubuntu where the kernel is configured with the CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y option)
2. switch to a console and log-in (or alternatively, open a terminal after logging in to a desktop env.)
3. run the "acpi_listen" executable from the terminal
4. press the power button.

With a "bad" kernel version, nothing will happen (no text will be
printed to the screen).  With a "good" version, you will see some text
indicating that an event occurred.

Consequently, with a "bad" kernel, if you suspend the machine via the
power-off menu option, there is no way to resume (I also tried to close
and open the lid after suspending, to no avail).
