[Possible Regression] Microsoft Keyboard favourite keys not producing scan code

[Saulius Lukauskas]

Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 favourite buttons (labelled "1", "2", "3", "4", "5") as well as the key with cascading windows on it (in a position of SUPER_R) do not produce any scancodes or acpi_events at all.

Some debugging information from hotkeys troubleshooting:
> ~$ sudo /lib/udev/findkeyboards
USB keyboard: input/event4
USB keyboard: input/event6
USB keyboard: input/js0
AT keyboard: input/event3
module: input/event8

The input/event4 is for regular keys, input/event6 is for special keys. input/js0 is (probably another) bug?

Probably irrelevant:
> ~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
> ~$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
M50Vn

This what happens when I click the buttons with keymap -i:

> ~$ sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event6
Press ESC to finish
^C

(Nothing)

Acpi_listen:
> ~$ acpi_listen
^C

(Also Nothing)

This bug is related to this (and it was fixed in intrepid, I assume) but it is probably another regression on the issue.

All other buttons (except these 6 work fine) (except for the zoom in / zoom out due to scan codes > 256, witch is not the problem for the bug)

I am attaching various dumps from the howtos. Please tell me if I am missing something, as I do not have a clue how to diagnose this.

The dumps attached:
dmesg.log
lspci-vnvn.log
orig-map.txt
udev-db.txt
uname-a.log
version.log
