Thank you for importing the driver, Yoshihiro-san.  I wanted to also let the
list know that anyone who is considering committing a userland hotkeys script
should talk to me first.  I don't want us to import any device-specific hotkey
scripts (i.e., asus, panasonic, toshiba, etc.) but instead have a single
general-purpose script and have the kernel translate device-specific tables of
hotkey values to generic ones.  That way a single script can look for the
generic "volume up/down" buttons and act accordingly.

Please email me if you're interested in working on that.
