You may have to add an optional callback for that in asus-wmi's driver
model because it's used by both asus-nb-wmi and eeepc-wmi, and we only
want this behavior for eeepc-wmi.

Yep, 0xea means "The key is still pressed", but it's useless if we
already repport key down and key up events correctly.
You'll have to ignore this scan code explicitly to remove traces in
dmesg (use KEY_IGNORE).
