We had to make a quick hack to do this when we started supporting the hp700
PC-style (``geckko'') keyboard.  Check out the Utah Mach code:

    http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/mach4-parisc/html/snapshot2.html

in particular the kernel/hpdev directory of:

    ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/ALPHA/pa-snapshot2.tar.gz

I'm not suggesting that you use this code, but at least it identifies the
HIL-isms in the code.
