It surely seems odd to me to expand an array from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes
just to handle one special case. Can't it be handled in code as a
special case?

Something like:
u16 keycode;
keycode = bios_entry->keycode == 0xffff ? KEY_UNKNOWN :
(bios_entry->keycode <
ARRAY_SIZE(bios_to_linux_keycode)) ?
bios_to_linux_keycode[bios_entry->keycode] :
KEY_RESERVED;
Also please fix this:
