Tested by mjg59

Note that a lot more work is needed to make this "sane". We have 3
different "function keys" being mapped to various touchpad toggle
buttons (F21, F22 and F23).

Subject: [PATCH] keymap: Add force release for HP touchpad off

Force the touchpad off/on keys getting released, as they usually
only send a "repeat".
