Hi Chris,
Since 2.6.38 merge window should be in a long time, I think we have
the time to ad new keys.

Dimitry, what do you think of :

KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE 248
KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON            249
KEY_TOUCHPAD_OFF           250

Maybe we should keep these lower keycodes for other stuff, and use
some higher ones ?

Thanks,
