the actual switch is performed later. It was possible
to get into the endless loop when attempting to switch
to a closed vty (which is not allowed and beep-alerted
when attempted) and when the visual beep was in effect.
This caused sc->delayed_next_scr to never be reset and
endless attempts to switch to a closed vty and endless
visual beeping. How to repeat:
- boot into single-user
- run "kbdcontrol -b visual"
- quickly press Alt+F2 two times

ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro.
This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable
being keyboard/syscons ioctls.
Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the

protected by Giant but often was not. If two threads that were otherwise
SMP-safe called printf at the same time, there was a high likelyhood that
the semaphore would get corrupted and result in a permanently frozen video
console. This is similar to what is already done in the serial console
drivers.
This used to make syscons switch to vty0 when we entered DDB but this
was lost in the KDB shuffle. We may want to bring it back down the road
but it should be done by calling cn_init_t/cn_term_t instead, possibly

By default syscons(4) will look for the kbdmux(4) keyboard first, and then,
if not found, look for any keyboard.
Current kbd code is modified so if kbdmux(4) is the current keyboard, all
new keyboards are automatically added to the kbdmux(4).
Switch to kbdmux(4) can be done at boot time, by loading kbdmux module at
the loader prompt, or at runtime, by kldload'ing the kbdmux module and
releasing current active keyboard.
If, for whatever reason, kbdmux(4) is not required/desired then just do
not load it and everything should work as before. It is also possible to
kldunload kbdmux at runtime and syscons(4) will automatically switch to
the first available keyboard.

and do some preparations for handling 12x22 fonts (currently lots of code
implies and/or hardcodes a font width of 8 pixels). This will be required
on sparc64 which uses a default font size of 12x22 in order to add font
loading and saving support as well as to use a syscons(4)-supplied mouse
pointer image.
This API breakage is committed now so it can be MFC'ed in time for 6.0
and later on upcoming framebuffer drivers destined for use on sparc64
and which are expected to rely on using font loading internally and on
a syscons(4)-supplied mouse pointer image can be easily MFC'ed to
RELENG_6 rather than requiring a backport.

o Add two new ioctl's KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD. These are used to add and remove
keyboard to (and from) kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer;
o Introduce new kbd_find_keyboard2() function. It does exactly the same job
as kbd_find_keyboard() function except it allows to specify starting index.
This function can be used to iterate over keyboards array;
o Re-implement kbd_find_keyboard() as call to kbd_find_keyboard2() with starting
index of zero;
o Make sure syscons(4) passed KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD ioctl's onto currently
active keyboard.

There seems to be some confusion in the syscons code as to the meaning of

Someone with better syscons fu than myself should take a closer look.

it's in the way even more. Basicly: remove all alpha specific console
support from gfb(4), sio(4) and syscons(4). Rewrite the alpha console

The platform specific code now only sets or clears RB_SERIAL and thus
automaticly causes the right console to be selected.
