Add it ;)
I didn't put it in GENERIC mostly because it's not exactly useful to  
pretty much anyone except people who work on the ADB keyboard driver.  
It will print loads of debug info which will make it rather difficult  
to actually use the machine. Some hints how to read it:
* every ADB keyboard event consists of up to two scancodes, in almost  
all cases the 2nd one is unused and should be ff. On some keyboards  
the power button sends an event using both bytes.
* the scancodes are 7 bit wide, the upper bit is used to indicate  
wether the key was pressed or released.
So, before turning it on I'd strongly recommend setting up sshd or  
some other way to log into the machine over the network.
