It is a bit unusual but it corresponds with the user report

	dell_wmi: Unknown key with type 0x0000 and code 0x0109 pressed
	dell_wmi: Unknown key with type 0x0000 and code 0x0150 pressed

and I also checked the acpidump.

I said "some" in the commit message because it's very likely other
Alienware models also use these codes.
