I have got the same problem in 2.6.0-test3 with a swedish USB keyboard.
It's a Microsoft Natural Keyboard pro. The "'/*" key generates keycode
43 in 2.4.21 and keycode 84 in 2.6.0-test3. But my swedish AT keyboard
still generates the same keycode (43) in both releases.

I have tried to find what caused the change. In 2.4 keycode 84 is
translated to 43 by x86_keycodes table in drivers/input/keybdev.c. But
in 2.6 I think the table is used only in raw mode, otherwise the keymap
is used directly (in drivers/char/keyboard.c).

My workaround is to define keycode 84 in the keymap file/s. I have added
the following to my US keymap:

keycode 84 = backslash bar
control keycode 84 = Control_backslash

Mikael Magnusson
