ACPI: Remove the old /proc/acpi/event interface

It is quite some time that this one has been deprecated.
Get rid of it.

Should some really important user be overseen, it may be reverted and
the userspace program worked on first, but it is time to do something
to get rid of this old stuff...

  This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible ASUS laptops.
  It may also support some MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops (such as MEDION 9675 or
- VICTOR XP7210 for example). It makes all the extra buttons generate standard
- ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events and input events (like keyboards).
+ VICTOR XP7210 for example). It makes all the extra buttons generate input
+ events (like keyboards).
  On some models adds support for changing the display brightness and output,
  switching the LCD backlight on and off, and most importantly, allows you to
  blink those fancy LEDs intended for reporting mail and wireless status.

   DSDT) to me.
 
   That's all, now, all the events generated by the hotkeys of your laptop
-  should be reported in your /proc/acpi/event entry. You can check with
-  "acpi_listen".
+  should be reported via netlink events. You can check with
+  "acpi_genl monitor" (part of the acpica project).
 
   Hotkeys are also reported as input keys (like keyboards) you can check
   which key are supported using "xev" under X11.

 ------------------
 Some models report hotkeys through the SNC or SPIC devices, such events are
 reported both through the ACPI subsystem as acpi events and through the INPUT
-subsystem. See the logs of acpid or /proc/acpi/event and
-/proc/bus/input/devices to find out what those events are and which input
-devices are created by the driver. Additionally, loading the driver with the
-debug option will report all events in the kernel log.

+Additionally, loading the driver with the debug option will report all events

 The "scancodes" passed to the input system (that can be remapped with udev)
 are indexes to the table "sony_laptop_input_keycode_map" in the sony-laptop.c
