Sounds like an argument for standardisation. How about:

diff --git a/include/linux/input.h b/include/linux/input.h
index b3253ab..5812552 100644
--- a/include/linux/input.h
+++ b/include/linux/input.h
@@ -348,6 +348,7 @@ #define KEY_SAVE		234
 #define KEY_DOCUMENTS		235
 
 #define KEY_BATTERY		236
+#define KEY_WIRELESS            237
 
 #define KEY_UNKNOWN		240
 
to the kernel and then set the correct mapping based on DMI data?
