Thanks, I've made that change below.

That's true. On the other hand, imitating the action of the brightness keys at
this higher level seems somewhat cleaner and has the advantage that the
brightness setting is preserved on reboot (as the smi handler stores it in
nvram). I did test that 63 and 64 are the appropriate event numbers on each of
the models in the dmi table (although I only tested one firmware version per
model).
