Supposedly keycodes 112 - 127 are unused so you can do:

According to dumpkeys on my system though, everything up to 119 is used

setkeycodes e05e 120

You can then use key 120 for something in loadkeys.  To make it a
modifier key I guess you have to look at how alt and such are defined
and do something similar.

Well 'Boot' is the codeword for reboot it seems.  There are keywords for
a few things, but I have no idea if you can add any.

Well I can't figure out how to create a meta key, but maybe I just
haven't looked hard enough.  Nor have I found how to create a power off
button on the keyboard.
