If anything out there is using the 0x5010 event, please let me know.  I have
a cluebat made of titanium with rusted iron spikes embedded in it to use on
anyone who does it for anything else than OSD purposes.

Some crap that certainly will go bonkers on your thinkpad.

Seems to be a firmware issue, I hope Lenovo will fix it.  But that key will
go through the regular keyboard on a *61 box, so you will NOT see anything
from ACPI or thinkpad-acpi about it.
