I guess my feeling is that it's an artificial restriction.  I dunno if
anyone really uses odd sized keys, but why limit them?

Agreed, but I wanted to push getting those patches into the driver so
something would get moving :-)  It looks like I prodded someone else
with a similar patch including ancontrol to get around to submitting
his fix.  Hopefully we can work together to solve the problems in both
of our patches and get something useful out of it.

I do have my own version of ancontrol that I am using, but it does
things I've not gotten fully cleared to release yet.
