Subject: [PATCH] Make atkbd.c use unsigned short instead of unsigned int

Hi list,

I've got an Acer Extensa 5220 with some extra "Euro" and "Dollar" keys.
I wanted to make these keys known to the kernel, so I wrote an .fdi file
for hal. 

Unfortunately the configuration of the "Euro" and "Dollar" (and some
other key) failed, because:
a) the atkbd driver uses unsigned char to store the keymap
b) the KEY_DOLLAR is 0x1b2 (which doesn't fit in 8 bits).

I created a small patch which changes the keymap to use 
unsigned short.

PS: I'm not subscribed to the LKML, please email me directly.
