Lenovo is now including a key for muting the microphone on all Thinkpad
models & peripheral keyboards. Currently there is no way to deal with
this key being handled in a common fashion under Linux. This patch
defines a key code for microphone mute so that this key can be mapped
for Thinkpad models & peripheral keyboards.
By having a set keycode this key can be remapped to the common keycode
and userspace can then listen and take some action once the key is
pressed. A common action would be to mute the microphone mixer.
