Subject: [PATCH] input/usb: Supporting more keys from the HUT Consumer Page

Hi, [please CC me, as I am not subscribed]

On USB keyboards lots of hot/internet keys are not working. This patch 
adds support for a number of keys from the USB HID Usage Table 
(http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/Hut1_12.pdf).

It also adds several new key codes. Most of them are used on real world 
keyboards I know. I added some others (KEY_+ EDITOR, GRAPHICSEDITOR, 
DATABASE, NEWS, VOICEMAIL, VIDEOPHONE) to avoid "holes".

I would be interested in comments to the "zoom" key. For me it looks 
like KEY_ZOOM is on a remote control for a DVD player or something 
similar. So it toggles between a few zoom levels. The Zoom 100% key 
found on keyboards (some Logitech internet keyboards for example) resets 
the Zoom to 100%. May be we need another keycode for them. Additionally
does the USB HUT define the Zoom entry as "linear control" but the 
logitech uses it as Zoom 100% key.

Florian
