- The return value should be a signed integer, because -1 means failure.
- The c variable should be unsigned, to force it to be zero-extended
when returned.

These two drivers seem to be the last consumers of clists. clists are
quite overengineered for simple circular buffers, so I'm adding similar
buffer management routines to the kbd and kbdmux drivers. The input
buffer is now part of the softc structures, instead of having
dynamically allocated cblocks.
Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and apparently
causing more problems than it solves. This will re-open the issue
where interrupt handlers may race with kbdmux(4) in polling mode.
Typical symptoms include (but not limited to) duplicated and/or
missing characters when low level console functions (such as gets)
are used while interrupts are enabled (for example geli password
prompt, mountroot prompt etc.)

fails to attach (possibly due to disable hints) then we get called back for
unload. Correctly handle the case where the keyboard isnt found rather than
calling panic.
The kbd, kbdmux, ugen and uhid drivers included <sys/tty.h>, because
they needed clists, which have been moved to <sys/clist.h> some time
ago. In the MPSAFE TTY branch, <sys/tty.h> does not include
<sys/clist.h>, which means we have to teach these drivers to include
this header file directly.

implemented with macros. This patch improves code readability. Reasoning
behind kbdd_* is a "keyboard discipline".
List of macros is supposed to be complete--all methods of keyboard_switch
should have their respective macros from now on.
Functionally, this code should be no-op. My intention is to leave current
behaviour of code as is.

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
handling of old ioctls on sparc64.

is incorrect, and causes endianness bugs on 64-bit big-endian
machines (sparc64), it's the best choice for now, as many of
these IOCTLs are used inside the kernel, and bogusly pass an
argument as "int *" which results in unaligned access panics
on sparc64 when attempting to dereference them via *(intptr_t *).
(Several of us are working on a real fix, which is uneasy.)

(atkbd(4)) and PS/2 mouse (psm(4)) are used together.
Turns out that atkbd(4) check_char() method may return "true" while
read_char() method returns NOKEY. When this happens kbdmux(4) was
simply stuck in the dead loop. Avoid dead loop in kbdmux(4) by breaking
out of the loop if read_char() method returns NOKEY.
It almost seems like a bug in atkkbd(4), atkbd_check_char() calls
kbdc_data_ready(), and, the later will return "true" if there are
pending data in either kbd or aux queue. However, because both aux
and kbd are on the same controller, I'm not sure if this is a bug
or feature.

o Slightly change KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD ioctl() interface. Instead of passing
keyboard index pass keyboard_info_t structure with populated 'kb_unit' and
'kb_name' fields. Keyboard index is not very user-friendly and is not very
easy to obtain. Keyboard driver name and unit, on the other hand, is much
more user friendly and known almost all the time;
o Move definition of keyboard_info_t structure up;
o Teach kbdcontrol(1) how to attach/detach keyboards to/from the keyboard
multiplexor;
o Update kbdcontrol(1) man page and document new functionality.
To attach/detach keyboard to/from keyboard multiplexor one needs to use
keyboard device name (i.e. ukbd0).

o Add sys/dev/kbdmux/kbdmux.c to the source tree
o Add sys/modules/kbdmux/Makefile to the source tree
