Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle this.  We try to keep the 
msm/dream stuff in a state that doesn't break other parts of the 
tree, but there doesn't seem to be support for different keymaps for 
different devices.

How it's supposed to work is that you have a specific keyboard driver 
and that emits PC keyboard codes into the core kernel using a 
translation table in your driver.

Of course, Dream does  that.  But that's not _nearly_ enough. Dream
lacks keys such as: esc, arrows, symbols (/;'[]\-=). That means that
for +, you can't press shift-=, you need to press altgr-P.

I don't seem to have enough context, but wouldn't writing a separate serio 
driver, which would do all the needed translations be enough here?
