I worked with Dmitry Torokhov to come to some agreement with respect to
the kdb keyboard handling.  This resulted in dropping one of the
keyboard patches entirely, and it will be done another way.  There are
RFC patches from me on this, as well as Dmitry's own RFC patches for
sysrq handling.

The discussion with Dmitry also resulted in the cleanup of the current
kdb low level PS/2 kdb keyboard driver to an acceptable state.  I was
waiting to hear back on the response to the pull request before
investing further effort here.  I am always open to suggestions of how
to solve this tricky problem.

Thanks,
Jason.
