udev keymap rules for Asus

With Linux 3.9 (commit a935eaecef2b209ad661dadabb4e32b7c9a9b924), the Asus
keyboard driver has changed to be more compliant to the symbol
signification. This has led to some issues with udev. In particular, the
XF86TouchpadToggle (a Fn key) does not work anymore on y Asus X52J. As confirmed
by the kernel developper who did this commit, this is not a kernel regression,
udev is to blame here because of missing udev rules in 95-keymap.rules.

So basically all I did was adding

 ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="ASUS*", KERNELS=="input*", ATTRS{name}=="Asus Laptop extra buttons", RUN+="keymap $name 0x6B f21"

to the file. I found another similar patch which does not seem to have been ever
submitted/merged:

  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73337842/95-keymap.rules.patch

Find enclosed the patch containing both the launchpad patch and mine into one
file.

Applied in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=f3dbb13.

XF86TouchpadToggle event (Fn+F3) missing on Asus EEee PC X101CH after switching from udev keymaps to hwdb. 
Looks like this switching is the only reason why it don't work in Fedora 20 (systemd-208), but works fine in Fedora 19 (systemd-204).
