Hi Carlos,

After calling set_keyboard_quirk(), the extra keys start generating proper
scancodes, and can be mapped as normal via setkeycodes.

At the moment, I've added this quirk to acer_acpi (it's currently only applied
on the few systems we know that need it via DMI matching), but I'm not really
sure if this is the right place for it as:

1) acer_acpi is still out of tree

2) Does this really belong in acer_acpi (I'm not really sure if it falls under
what I'm doing - this seems to border a bit too much on the input tree side),
or somewhere further up the input tree (wistron-btns isn't much use here, as
the quirk would then be limited to 32 bit only, whereas some of the machines
that need this quirk can run a 64 bit kernel)?

I think it could be added to i8042 driver to enable it. How messy is detection?

I am also going to apply the patch that exports i8042_command() so it
can be used by other modules (Clevo LED driver needs it).
