Ok, this is my second keymap proposal.

* 101/102/104 Enhanced Keyboard support
Key Code Key Stroke Function
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Ctrl-Alt-Esc Enter DDB (debug).
57 Ctrl-Alt-Space Suspend (susp).
70 ScrollLock Backscroll (slock).
84 Alt-SysRq(PrintScreen) - (nop)
92 PrintScreen Switch to the next vty (nscr).
92 Ctrl-PrintScreen Enter DDB (debug).
104 Pause Backscroll (slock).
104 Shift-Pause Start screen saver (saver).
104 Alt-Pause Suspend (susp).
105 Left Windows fkey62
106 Right Windows fkey63
107 Menu fkey64
108 Ctrl-Break(Pause) - (nop)
The separate SysRq key doesn't exist on the enhanced keyboard. It is
combined with the PrintScreen key. The SysRq code is generated when
the Alt and the PrintScreen keys are pressed together.
The separate Break key doesn't exist on the enhanced keyboard. It is
combined with the Pause key. The Break code is generated when the
Ctrl and the Pause keys are pressed together.
The above assignments for the keycodes 1, 57, 70, 84 and 92 are
compatible with many, if not all, existing keymaps.
The base case for the keycode 104 is compatible with existing keymaps.
The keycode 108 is new.
Many keymaps lacks entries for 105 through 107.
* 84 Keyboard support
Key Code Key Stroke Function
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Ctrl-Alt-Esc Enter DDB (debug).
57 Ctrl-Alt-Space Suspend (susp).
70 ScrollLock Backscroll (slock).
84 SysRq - (nop)
92 Shift-PrintScreen(*) Switch to the next vty (nscr).
92 Shift-Ctrl-PrintScreen Enter DDB (debug).
104 Ctrl-Pause(NumLock) Backscroll (slock).
104 Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Pause(NumLock) Start screen saver (saver).
104 Ctrl-Alt-Pause(NumLock) Suspend (susp).
108 Ctrl-Break(ScrollLock) - (nop)
The separate PrintScreen key doesn't exist on the 84 keyboard. It is
combined with the numpad * key. The PrintScreen code is generated
when the Shift and the numpad * keys are pressed together.
The separate Pause key doesn't exist on the 84 keyboard. It is
combined with the NumLock key. The Pause code is generated when the
Ctrl and the NumlLock keys are pressed together.
The separate Break key doesn't exist on the 84 keyboard. It is
combined with the ScrollLock key. The Break code is generated when
the Ctrl and the ScrollLock keys are pressed together.
* Proposed keymap
Combining the support for the 84 keyboard and the enhanced keyboard
described above, we will get the following keymap entries.
alt
ctrl alt alt ctrl
code base shift ctrl shift alt shift ctrl shift
