After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

keyboard is attached only after the system has already booted.
If USB keyboard is also present, and there's no kbdmux(4), the problem
has been hiding itself because as soon as we get to multi-user, the
USB keyboard becomes an active keyboard (see devd.conf), thus marking
atkbd inactive and letting the old code initialize the keyboard.
With kbdmux(4), or if there's no USB keyboard, the atkbd keyboard is
always active, whether it's physically attached or not, thus it never
initialized itself properly on a physical attach.
To fix this, move block that initialized the keyboard on attach upper
so it doesn't depend on the (KBD_IS_ACTIVE(kbd) && KBD_IS_BUSY(kbd))
condition. Also move KBD_FOUND_DEVICE() a few lines upper so that
KDSETLED and KDSETREPEAT that follow it propagate to the controller.

FreeBSD working almost OOB on MacBook Pro (still there are issues with

S40) should benefit from this as well, but since I don't have any I can't
verify.
It should make no difference on the ordinary i386 hardware (since in
that case that hardware already would be having an issues with A20
routines in boot blocks). I don't know much about AT-style keyboard
controller on other platforms (and don't have dedicated access to one),
therefore, the code is restricted to i386 for now. I suspect that amd64
may need this as well, but I would rather leave this decision to someone
who knows better about the platform(s) in question.
I have tested this change on as many "ordinary i386 boxes" as I can get
my hands on, and it doesn't create any false negatives on hardware with
AT-style keyboard present.

files after they were repo-copied to sys/dev/atkbdc. The sources of
atkbdc(4) and its children were moved to the new location in preparation
for adding an EBus front-end to atkbdc(4) for use on sparc64; i.e. in
order to not further scatter them over the whole tree which would have
been the result of adding atkbdc_ebus.c in e.g. sys/sparc64/ebus. Another
reason for the repo-copies was that some of the sources were misfiled,
e.g. sys/isa/atkbd_isa.c wasn't ISA-specific at all but for hanging
atkbd(4) off of atkbdc(4) and was renamed to atkbd_atkbdc.c accordingly.
Most of sys/isa/psm.c, i.e. expect for its PSMC PNP part, also isn't
ISA-specific.
- Separate the parts of atkbdc_isa.c which aren't actually ISA-specific
but are shareable between different atkbdc(4) bus front-ends into
atkbdc_subr.c (repo-copied from atkbdc_isa.c). While here use
bus_generic_rl_alloc_resource() and bus_generic_rl_release_resource()
respectively in atkbdc_isa.c instead of rolling own versions.
- Add sparc64 MD bits to atkbdc(4) and atkbd(4) and an EBus front-end for
atkbdc(4). PS/2 controllers and input devices are used on a couple of
Sun OEM boards and occur on either the EBus or the ISA bus. Depending on
the board it's either the only on-board mean to connect a keyboard and
mouse or an alternative to either RS232 or USB devices.
- Wrap the PSMC PNP part of psm.c in #ifdef DEV_ISA so it can be compiled
without isa(4) (e.g. for EBus-only machines). This ISA-specific part
isn't separated into its own source file, yet, as it requires more work
than was feasible for 6.0 in order to do it in a clean way. Actually
philip@ is working on a rewrite of psm(4) so a more comprehensive
clean-up and separation of hardware dependent and independent parts is
expected to happen after 6.0.

o Remove PSM_SYNCERR_THRESHOLD1. This value specified how many sync
errors were required before the mouse is re-initialised.
Re-initialisation is now done after (packetsize * 2) sync errors as
things aren't likely to improve after that.
o Reset lastinputerror when re-initialisation occurs. We don't want
to continue to drop data after re-initialisation.
o Count the number of failed packets independently of the syncerrors
statistic. syncerrors is useful for recovering sync within a single
packet. pkterrors allows us to detect when the mouse changes its
packet mode due to some external event (e.g. KVM switch).
o Reinitialize the mouse if we see more than psmpkterrthresh errors
during the validation period. The validation period begins as soon
as a sync error is detected and continues until psmerrsecs/msecs
time has elapsed. The defaults for these two values force a reset
if we see two packet errors in a 2 second period. This allows rapid
detection of packet framing errors caused by the mouse changing packet
modes.

o Export psmloglevel as a sysctl.

this avoids a bug in their mouse emulation that sends back incorrect
