Re: [9fans] teg2 kbd

yep, that was for me.  weird uk usb keyboards.
nearly all the keyboard works but the pipe/backslash key is a special.
the patch appeared twice, once in the pc keyboard driver and once for the
raspberry pi (shared with omap).

there is also someone who had a similar problem with german keyboards
in the archives, though their fix was a little crude (sorry).

i worried at the time that adding two entire pages of lookup table seemed silly
to support one key with three functions, but memory is cheap enough that 2 x 256 bytes
is not outrageous. the 8042 is dead (ish)
