With the fixup applied on top of previous patch, the whole thing
appears to work correctly.  2.6.32-amd64:

32bit grep:
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input6/capabilities# grep . *
abs:11000003
ev:b
ff:0
key:6420 0 7000f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
led:0
msc:0
rel:0
snd:0
sw:0

64bit grep:
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input6/capabilities# ~/grep . *
abs:11000003
ev:b
ff:0
key:6420 7000f 0 0 0 0
led:0
msc:0
rel:0
snd:0
sw:0

A few questions still:

o I think the 'key' attribute used to be shorter previously, eliminating
  unnecessary trailing zeros, but it is not anymore.  Just curious.

o How about other systems such as sparc 32/64 or power 32/64?  I'm not
  sure the patch is endian-clean.

Thanks!
