I think they are when it comes to those fancy multimedia keyboards which
add certain keys for "play", "pause", "next track", "volume up" and so
on.  Linux has KEY_FOO defines for them.  For PS/2 those are not
standardized and thus differ from vendor to vendor as far I know.  At
least xorg comes with a bunch of different xkb keyboard definitions for
the different keyboards ...
