I have been testing changes to the OMAP i2c driver from Jared, and my
interrupt handler in omapiic(4) does react to keypad presses (through
tps65950pm0 on the i2c bus). So I guess then that I need to complete
this code, and forward the interrupt to be handled by the proper end-driver.

Well, I would really like to avoid polling on the keypad, and even on
the accelerometer if possible. The chip has interesting features that I
would like to make use of, like click and double-click detection, and
value thresholds. It can also be a nice source of entropy :)
