Ahh, ignore these, these are just chaff from my local tree. When I
merge, I do a git diff and then import each bit into master carefully.

Ahh yes, stupid me. Yet another problem - the thinkpad_acpi driver is
going to emit input events with a keycode of KEY_UNKNOWN and scancode
encoded in MSC_SCAN. It creates an input device (event6 on my machine)
and shovels events though this. We'll need to map these scan codes to
keycodes, and this wont be detected with matching i8042 KBD.

Maybe we should just match the hald-setup-keymap against "AT Translated
Set 2 keyboard" and "ThinkPad Extra Buttons".

I think this is the best way, and we can avoid poking around in sysfs
completely.

Richard.
