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.

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.
These changes should not have any visible effect.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
kbd_attach() is called kbd[0-9]+, with a different unit number. This
makes it impossible to write a devd rule which will automatically
switch to a USB keyboard when one is attached, because there is no way
to guess the correct device node to pass to kbdcontrol.
Therefore, change kbd_attach() to create a device node using the
keyboard device's real name (atkbd0, ukbd0...), and create the
kbd[0-9]+ node as an alias for backward compatibility.

like secure level but which restricts changes to the keymap. Its
values impose the following restrictions:
0: No restriction - this is the default.
1: Only root can change restricted keys (like boot, panic, ...)
2: Only root can change restricted keys and regular keys.
Other users still can change accents and function keys.
3: Only root can change restricted keys, regular keys and accents.
4: Only root can change any of the keymap (restricted keys, regular
keys, accents and function keys).
Unfortunately, the keyboard's accent map is cleared when a new keymap
is loaded, which makes the distinction between level 3 and level 4
less useful.
The MAC guys might like to make this a policy?

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.
Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()

- Refined internal interface in keyboard drivers so that:
1. the side effect of device probe is kept minimal,
2. polling mode function is added,
3. and new ioctl and configuration options are added (see below).
- Added new ioctl: KDSETREPEAT
Set keyboard typematic rate. There has existed an ioctl command,
KDSETRAD, for the same purpose. However, KDSETRAD is dependent on
the AT keyboard. KDSETREPEAT provides more generic interface.
KDSETRAD will still be supported in the atkbd driver.
- Added new configuration options:
ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
Specify a keymap to be used as the default, built-in keymap.
(There has been undocumented options, DKKEYMAP, UKKEYMAP, GRKEYMAP,
SWKEYMAP, RUKEYMAP, ESKEYMAP, and ISKEYMAP to set the default keymap.
These options are now gone for good. The new option is more general.)
KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING
Don't allow the user to change the keymap.
