In preparation for Unicode support for the keyboard layer, we'd better
get rid of all the hardcoded 0x100/0xff constants in kbdcontrol.
Instead, add a flag called SPECIAL stored in the top bit of the integer.
Adding Unicode support is very simple now; just change u_char map[] to
u_int map[] in keyent_t, change the bounds checking in kbdcontrol to
0x1FFFFF and modify the ioctls to allow loading these new keymaps.
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).

This example caused me to incorrectly believe that you must use the
generic device nodes when you can in fact use either. It's often better
to use the driver specific node.
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
the -c option [when CONS_CLRHIST isn't defined]. This is okay since
the only time CONS_CLRHIST wouldn't be defined is when kbdcontrol is
being built in bootstrap-tools, and -c isn't needed then.

files. Mostly -I${.CURDIR} was needed -- especially for YACC generated
files as the new cpp does not look in the ultimate source file
(ie, the .y file)'s directory as told by the "#line" directive. Some were
misspellings of "-I${.CURDIR}" as "-I.".
Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/console.h> files will be removed.
