As mentioned in the cover letter, I compared the original mapping
tables in QEMU to the new auto-generated ones. That is how I
identified these newly added entries. I also discovered certain
bugs in doing that, which I fixed in the keycodemapdb.

These bugs have been present for several relesaes, so I'm not sure
its worth the effort to manually update the existing tables with
bug fixes.

Several ends with digits.

Using assert() for these mappings is really dangerous and could lead to
denial of service security bugs. I had kept asserts originally but then
found I was able to trigger asserts from VNC keyboard events, or monitor
send-key command by sending out of range scancodes. IOW VNC client could
crash QEMU. Fortunately the original code was not vulnerable to that,
only my patches, but I think it is better not to take that risk at all.
