I have 2.6.21 and 2.6.22-rc4.
Maybe Elimar and you have a usb keyboard. I have a adb keyboard which
doesn't use this
/sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode

$ grep ADB /boot/config-2.6.21-1-powerpc
CONFIG_ADB=y
CONFIG_ADB_CUDA=y
CONFIG_ADB_PMU=y
# CONFIG_ADB_PMU_LED is not set
CONFIG_ADB_MACIO=y
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y
