Hi,

This patch adds a soft release key mask to input_dev, to enable keyboard
drivers to determine which keys never generate a hardware release event and
hence add a release event after every press event of such keys. The mask is
controlled by ioctls.
I don't think we want to add all the infrastructure for the benefit of single
driver. Can we add a quirk to atkbd and activate it based on DMI?
