So, does the patch below look OK to powerbook people? The only difference 
is that the module taking care of pb_fnmode parameter is now hid, instead 
of usbhid. If it is OK I will probably queue it as a bugfix for 
2.6.20-rc6, as it seems that quite a lot of users got used to be able to 
change pb_fnmode value through sysfs.

[PATCH] HID: pb_fnmode fix and move it to generic HID

The apple powerbook people are used to switch the pb_fnmode
setting at runtime through writing to sysfs, altering the
module parameter value. This was broken for them in 2.6.20-rc1
when generic HID layer was introduced, as the pb_fnmode flag
was made per-hiddevice, instead of global variable.

This patch moves the pb_fnmode module parameter from usbhid module
to hid module, but apart from that retains backward compatibility
with respect to changing the mode through sysfs.
