>From a quick skim of the code (drivers/hid/hid-input.c) it looks like
it's supposed to allow a laptop-style numeric keymap mapping to be
enabled with F6, but I can't make it do anything here.  Perhaps it is
best removed after the hid-bus merge, otherwise there'll be different
quirks in different places for the same devices.
