Generally quirk based fixes such as these are very specific to the machine
that they apply to, they change specific keys with specific numbers.
We therefore try and maintain that single machine focus for each bug.
If the bug is not focused very tightly then the general bug would never
get completed and that would make it hard for any one laptop owner to
know if their laptop was supposed to be fixed or not.
