There are two ways for the manufacturer to make these kind of model-specific buttons: Embed them in the BIOS so that generic ACPI code can handle them, or, go their own way and force everyone to accomodate their nonstandard custom hardware with a custom device driver.
Guess which method your manufacturer chose.
This is a frequent problem with laptops, and the kernel configuration is littered with hundreds of custom fixes for different models of laptops and computers throughout the years. Hopefully there'll be tweaks for yours too, soon.
