1. Adjust the thinkpad-acpi keymap to map Fn+F5 to KEY_BLUETOOTH.  How
to do this differs distro-to-distro, I believe editing udev rules is how
most of them are doing it nowadays.

2. Have something that listens to KEY_BLUETOOTH.  We had a rfkill-input
kernel module that could do it, I don't know if we still have it.
NetworkMangler^WNetworkManager is supposed to be able to do it as well.
