The volume-up/down-mute passive ones, if we push the volume keys to the
input layer.  We can probably find something already there to use for the
other keys, including the blue "access IBM or whatever" key.  There are also
the ones currently sent over the ACPI event infrastructure, i.e.
fn+f1..fn+f12, thinklight, etc.  I didn't check yet which ones have mappings
we can re-use.
