Hello,

I haven't tested this patch, but there is a mistake in the keymap here:

{KE_KEY, 0x7D, KEY_BLUETOOTH}, /* Bluetooth up */
{KE_KEY, 0x7E, KEY_BLUETOOTH}, /* Bluetooth down */

These are not keys, they are notifications that occur *after* the bluetooth state
is changed by the firmware (by pressing the bluetooth key on some models, for
example). Therefore, they should not be reported to the input layer.

There is also a 0x88 scancode for the radio key on some models. On Windows, this
key cycles through radio states: WLAN + BT => WLAN => BT => None. AFAIK there is
no equivalent on Linux yet for such a key... What would be best to do to support it?
