Please note that except for the first 5 entries, the keymap is sorted by
event code in ascending order. If I understand correctly, doing what
you ask would break that ordering:

/* Dell Instant Launch key */
{ KE_KEY, 0xe025, { KEY_PROG4 } },
{ KE_KEY, 0xe029, { KEY_PROG4 } },

/* Audio panel key */
{ KE_IGNORE, 0xe026, { KEY_RESERVED } },

Is this acceptable? Or perhaps you had something else on your mind?
