Hi,
I didn't know about this one.
Can people please add me to CC list on hp-wmi specific bug

Hmm, the bug is still in "open" state, there is no statement that anything
is found yet fixing the issue.
Could you please update the bug report if you verified and are sure
the patch helps.
The patch is a cleanup, has some functional change, but should
do things correctly now. As long as no special case was handled
by always calling:
hp_wmi_get_entry_by_scancode(eventcode);
even it was not a hotkey event, this is a straight forward fix and
if no one else complains, you have my vote for adding this to
stable kernel(s).

Isn't Ubuntu following stable 2.6.35.X kernels and you would get this with
an update if it's pushed into stable kernels?
I expect they do follow and there is no need to hurry?
