Maksim Yevmenkin f9e566779c kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer integration
o Add minimal kbdmux(4) man page to the source tree (more details to follow);

o Hook up kbdmux(4) to the build.

This concludes the first part of the kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer
integration. It now should be possible to use kbdmux(4), however one
must configure kbdmux(4) by hand (i.e. load kbdmux(4) module and use
kbdcontrol(1) to add/remove slave keyboards to/from kbdmux(4)).

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd device kbdmux
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexer.
It is built around the idea of
.Dq super keyboard ,
that is
.Nm
is a keyboard that consumes input from all slave keyboards attached to it.
.Pp
Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the
.Nm
keyboard driver with
.Xr kbdcontrol 1
utility.

.Xr atkbd 4 ,
.Xr pcvt 4 ,
.Xr syscons 4 ,
.Xr ukbd 4
.Sh CAVEAT
The
.Nm
keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into
.Dv K_RAW
mode.
Thus all slave keyboards attached to the
.Nm
keyboard share the same state.
The
.Nm
keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys.
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
module was implemented in
.Fx 6.0 .
