I agree this point. It's difficult to detect jp106 keyboard automatically.
Many venders use common internal circuits with us keyborad.

I think he catches good point. Kernel 2.0-2.4 use keycode 124 (0x7c) for scancode 0x6a.
2.5 uses keycode 183. This breaks jp106 keymaps. We cannot type '\' and '|' from jp106
keyboard on 2.5 kernel.
I believe there is no impact by changing keycode 183 to 124.
