Oops, I got this the wrong way round...

The hardware generates one event for each cycle of the LOCK key (press +
release => down; press + release => up).  It's the ADB code that converts
each of the down and up events into a pair of press/release events (so
that console drivers and X servers don't get totally confused).  The
problem remains though: the nearest you can get to mapping CTRL onto LOCK
is a CTRL key that locks (just like the LOCK behaviour).  Not very useful.

Sorry for the (my) confusion.
