Why is the kernel in need of "fixing"?
In particular, given the fact that from a distribution maker's
perspective, the 2.6.x behavior (generating _ONLY_ x86 key codes
to userspace regardless of architecture or keyboard type) is
a boon for simplification for keyboard configuration. No more
Sun/ARM/PPC/etc. specific crap needed anymore.
In fact I find it quite puzzling that, given the above, you want
to revert back to the 2.4.x days of complicated keyboard
configuration.
