The nicest fix, obviously, is to blacklist keys that are not
physically present on the keyboard. But I assume the keyboard reports
Hmm, somebody could still load keymap with duplicate keycodes though...
The HID mapping is hardcoded, so only key code 43 will have this
problem regardless of user keymaps.

Regarding blacklisting it would be good but I don't think there is any
way to know in advance which key (0x31 or 0x32) the keyboard actually
uses. If anybody has ideas on how this could be done let me know.

Jiri, do you still think this should be a hardware specific quirk?
