  The id is passed by the bootloader.  In the kernel config you can remove
what you don't want by commenting or deleting lines or using the "no"
config keyword if you want to shrink the kernel.  I think you find the pin
mappings by setting VRGIUDEBUG_CONF to 3 and defining
DUMP_GIU_LEVEL2_INTR, either in sys/arch/hpcmips/vr/vrgiu.c or in the
config file as:
options VRGIUDEBUG=3
options DUMP_GIU_LEVEL2_INTR

  Clios are the only hpcmips machines that use Epson chips, although maybe
it doesn't need chip specific support for power off (or maybe it needs it
to usefully turn the power back on :) ).  My clios have damaged display
cables causing vertical lines that make text almost unreadable, so I don't
have a system set up right now and managed to avoid doing anything useful
when I was looking at it previously.

  Oh, I looked at the keymap (in sys/dev/hpc/hpckbdkeymap.h) and it is the
Fn key for page up, etc.  The windows key is used by X to provide
additonal mouse buttions (hold win-N then click for button N, IIRC).
