But international Macintosh keyboards are special, 2 keys are swapped.
Kernel handles this situation, it swaps the keycodes returned by these
two keys when he detects such a keyboard. Of course, this autodetection
sometimes fails, this is why people complained about these 2 swapped
keys.
Currently macbook7{8,9} models have keycodes
macintosh+macintosh(badmap)
because it is known that Linux kernel misdetect it. It will hopefully
be fixed in the future, and macintosh(badmap) will have to be dropped,
otherwise keys are swapped again.
This can be done by upgrading xkeyboard-config (but this is difficult
because keycodes configuration depend on kernel version), or with
this apple:goodmap option which cancels macintosh(badmap).
So for now this option is useless, but it will become useful in the
future if kernel gets fixed.
