Supporting multiple keyboard

   I have completed most of the changes needed to make the console system
not depend on currcon. I also seperated the VT emulation code from vt.c.
Also console_macro is almost gone :) Now for some problem I came across.
  
   First and less important problem is blanking the screen. How do tell
which screen is the one we want blank? Any ideas anyone? I had a chessy
hack right now but when true multihead comes into play we need to find a
right solution. 
  
   To get multihead working I need support for multiple keyboards to the
console system. I need to be able to tell which keyboard is doing the VT
switching. Vojtech while looking threw your code I noticed you have a
keybdev.c in the input directory which has code that is in keyboard.c.
Also you don't have it enabled. What I was thinking is have keybdev.c as
the raw keyboard driver. This way when a user uses /dev/input we can send
raw packets their. Otherwise it send the packets to the console system.
This way keyboard.c becomes more of a translator from raw keyboard mode to 
a tty keyboard. A first move might be to move the keybaord tasklet into  
keybdev.c. What do you think Vojtech? 

Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
