As far as I can tell, it looks like it was just this commit that changed it: Commit in linux-msm in Linux on Qualcomm's MSM - Gitorious

You could try cloning the linux-msm git, revert those changes, and compile your own zImage. You can follow my guide to build your environment (just note you only need to clone prebuilt and linux-msm): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/tp2-androi...beginners.html

Once you have got to the point where you cloned it and everything is downloaded, use this command:
Code:
git-revert --no-commit 72dd73e
Whenever you want to update, just use git-pull. If you see that msm-gpio-keys.c gets updated during git-pull, you may need to check and see what has changed since you are no longer up-to-date on that file.
You're right, I did mistype and meant the rootfs. I don't think I'm really up to keeping a kernel branch up to date.

Around when they changed the kernel, Stine also made this commit to rootfs:

Update rhod keymaps for new power button scancode

Is it possible to do something in keymaps to alter the effect of the power button scancode?
