The compaq ku 0133 keyboard has 8 special keys at the top:

3 of these use standard HID usage codes from the consumer page, the 5
others use part of the reserved 0x07 - 0x1f range.
This commit adds mapping for this keyboard for these reserved codes, making
the other 5 keys work.
Can't we just load the proper keymap through udev without writing yet another
kernel driver?
A valid question, and I agree that in this case where no special handling is
necessary, that would be better. So I've just tried this, but this does not
work, because hid-input.c chooses to ignore unknown usage codes in the
consumer page, rather then map them to KEY_UNKNOWN, making it impossible
to remap them through udev/hwdb later.
I've written a patch to fix this + a hwdb patch, which seems like a better
way to deal with this then my original patch introducing a compaq usb hid kernel
driver esp. for this.

Hans
