I use Apple keyboard and mouse which seem to generate events with
keycode==0.
keyboard.c floods dmesg endlessly with below messages. This happens at a
very fast rate and never stops, leaving the dmesg unusable.
[46591.960000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46591.996000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.032000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.068000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.104000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.140000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.176000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.212000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
[46592.248000] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 0
The patch below avoids printing the warning if keycode == KEY_RESERVED.
If a more correct fix is possible please let me know and I will redo this.
(I suspect avoiding call to emulate_raw() with value ranges it cannot
emulate might be a better fix?)
Otherwise please consider applying.
