Add zoom and ThinkPad events to acpi addon for IBM

As of kernel 2.6.25 there are acpi events generated for the "Fn+Space" button combination and for the "ThinkPad" (a.k.a. "Access IBM" and "ThinkVantage") button, both on IBM/LENOVO ThinkPads.

I'll attach a patch ("git log -p" format) that adds "zoom" and "ThinkPad" button events to the acpi addon for IBM/LENOVO ThinkPads. The names I chose for these events are just some (safe) guesses.

This patch fixes a trivial typo too ("Fn=Insert").

    Add "zoom" ("Fn+Space") and "ThinkPad" (a.k.a. "Access IBM" and
    "ThinkVantage") button events to the acpi addon for IBM/LENOVO ThinkPads.
    As of kernel 2.6.25 there are acpi events generated for these buttons too.

    Fixed a trivial typo too ("Fn=Insert").
