Seems to be working here (I also verified that the keycodces are
actually emitted with evtest):

[root@dtor-d630 ~]# /lib/udev/keymap /dev/input/event3 0x87 wlan
setting scancode 0x87 to key code 238
[root@dtor-d630 ~]# /lib/udev/keymap /dev/input/event3 0x87 battery
setting scancode 0x87 to key code 236
[root@dtor-d630 ~]# uname -r
2.6.37-rc1+
[root@dtor-d630 ~]#
