And let me guess - two phase hotkey decoding is sufficiently weird that nobody wants to actually fix *that* code, right? (Rhetorical question, I already know the answer to that one). If that's not an option, perhaps we need a per-model quirk that patches up the tables at boot time? If we do that, we may want to re-arrange the table so the affected entries are at the front or something to help insure we don't patch the wrong entries if somebody else inserts new lines.
