I believe that this sysctl only exists on systems with *both* H the new input layer *and* CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES. This was true as of 2.2.17, but I haven't tested empirically since then. I this is correct, then we can't use the sysctl to distinguish old kernels with no new input layer from new kernels with no adb keycodes.
