Note that KEY_TOUCHPAD_{ON,OFF} are for when:
1) Your touchpad disables in hardware
2) You can know for certain the status of the device
You'll need to use KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE in your patch (and make changes
to udev's keyboard remap scripts to map KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE to F21 until
X can get access to those keycodes.
