there is a typo in the large scancode support patch. This patch makes
/lib/udev/keymap work again here on 2.6.37-rc2.

commit a33950b5baa848ff7851b9efd4c5e2eaafd370f2
Author: Mattia Dongili <malattia@linux.it>
Date: Thu Nov 18 22:20:36 2010 +0900

Input: fix typo in keycode validation supporting large scancodes

Check the input_keymap_entry keycode size (u32) instead of the device's
(void*).
