Description:
On the samsung nc10, some Fn-keys do not send a release scancode, making them unusable (for brightness control, and so on...)

This can be corrected on the kernel level, see :
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12021
and the patch :
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=19301

Can you patch the arch-kernel for it ?

Additional info:
* package version(s) : kernel 2.6.27.10 + kernel 2.6.28.1 from testing
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon
