I thought about the issue some more and came to the conclusion that
all the bit counting in my patch was entirely unnecessary (it's still
needed in the code that sets them, of course).
What would you say to the following? I tested it to work with the
affected keyboard. Seems like a simpler way to remove the overlap
and the trailing bits.
