I've tried to enable low-level debugging with:

echo 1 > /sys/module/i8042/parameters/debug

What I get is this:

The first three lines is then I press F8 (there's nothing in response to pressing Fn), the following line ('99') is for depressing F8 and the last two lines is for depressing Fn.

However, I am still not sure how I make setkeycodes do anything useful with this, much less how to handle a 3-byte code reported above.
