loadkeys and the kernel itself both reject attempts to set keycodes with
a value >= NR_KEYS (128).

In kbd-1.06/src/loadkeys.y::addkey()

if (index < 0 || index >= NR_KEYS)
lkfatal0(_("addkey called with bad index %d"), index);

And inside linux/drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c::do_kdsk_ioctl()

if (i >= NR_KEYS || s >= MAX_NR_KEYMAPS)
return -EINVAL;

I had to change each of those to KEY_MAX. Both files use NR_KEYS in
other places so I don't what the correct fix is. I guess NR_KEYS is
still correct for some keyboards?
