Right, that's probably not how you want to do it. Keycodes should be the 
things in include/linux/input.h. The problem you have is that there's no 
way of mapping the usage ID to the keycode without knowing the specific 
laptop layout. The right way of doing this is to use the usage ID as a 
scancode, and then implement the get and setkeycode functions. Userspace 
can then alter the keymap. Check the wistron_btns driver for an example 
of this.

This is the raw dump of what GHID returns? I'm not quite clear on what's 
going on here.

Right. For instance, GHID on another system I have here is just:

                        Method (GHID, 0, NotSerialized)
                        {
                            Acquire (MUT1, 0xFFFF)
                            And (MBTB, 0x02, Local0)
                            Release (MUT1)
                            If (Local0)
                            {
                                Notify (DAL2, 0x02)
                            }

                            Return (Buffer (One)
                            {
                                0x02
                            })

which doesn't look like your code would cope at all.
