According to legend, using dell-laptop module I can tell bios to leave backlit keyboard on all the time.
Latitude e6540 does not give an option, so keyboard light goes out after 15 seconds.

dell-laptop.c is in the source (along with dell-smbios.c dell-smo8800.c and dell-rbtn.c), but it would not co-operate
Using windows 7 and the program provided by Dell I was able to tell the machine to leave the light on for 5 minutes (interestingly, it works under Linux, too)
I only care about the keyboard light under Windows, but if dell-laptop.c is in the source, I expect it to co-operate; show up in "make menuconfig"; and compile.
