Actually it's a bit worse than that.

The "scancodes" used by the sony-laptop driver are the indexes into 
sony_laptop_input_keycode_map and not the "event" codes at all.

This patch (not yet tested) should fix the scancodes reported by 
/lib/udev/keymap.

This just leaves a bug in the keymap files included with udev.  I guess 
the sony-laptop file in Documentation needs to say where to find the 
scancodes.
