Please note that except for the first 5 entries, the keymap is sorted by
event code in ascending order.  If I understand correctly, doing what
you ask would break that ordering:

    /* Dell Instant Launch key */
    { KE_KEY, 0xe025, { KEY_PROG4 } },
    { KE_KEY, 0xe029, { KEY_PROG4 } },

    /* Audio panel key */
    { KE_IGNORE, 0xe026, { KEY_RESERVED } },

Is this acceptable?  Or perhaps you had something else on your mind?
