The compaq ku 0133 keyboard has 8 special keys at the top:

3 of these use standard HID usage codes from the consumer page, the 5
others use part of the reserved 0x07 - 0x1f range.

This commit adds mapping for this keyboard for these reserved codes, making
the other 5 keys work.

Can't we just load the proper keymap through udev without writing yet another
kernel driver?

Hmm, in this case I don't see any reason why not. ATM I don't have access
to the keyboard in question. I'll try writing a udev hwdb entry for it, assuming
that works I'll send that upstream to the u-boot guys. If it does not work for
some reason, then I'll send a v2 of this patch.

Hans
