(Get the code!)
For kdrive, the patch is important. Many embedded platforms still use old keyboard driver in MEDIUMRAW mode as a default and this patch extends key code range from 0-127 to 0-255. The kdrive patch is used in distributions derived from OpenEmbedded for several years.
"Extended MEDIUMRAW" mode should be superseded by evdev in the standard Xorg server. MEDIUMRAW mode is not used there for ~10 years and the code may be simplified by dropping its support at all as an alternative to "MEDIUMRAW -> Extended MEDIUMRAW" patch.
