Their are a few drivers in drivers/input for keyboards on the m68k and
SPARC platform. The SPARC platform will require the serial driver (rz.c)
to be rewritten. 

For SPARC that works on ix86:

sunkbd.c: Sun keyboard driver

SPARC stuff that doesn't work, partially converted.

sun8042.c: Ultra/AX i8042 chipset support

Any other keybaord drivers.

For m68k we have the following working:

amijoy.c     :Driver for Amiga joysticks for Linux/m68k 
amikbd.c     :Amiga keyboard driver for Linux/m68k 
amimouse.c   :Amiga mouse driver for Linux/m68k
q40kbd.c     :Q40 PS/2 keyboard controller driver for Linux/m68k

What is needs to be converted on the m68k:

atarijoy.c   :Atari Joystick Driver
atarikbd.c   :Atari Keyboard driver 
atarimouse.c :Atari Mouse Driver

hphil.c	     :HP300 Human Interface Loop driver
apollokbd.c  :Apollo keyboard and mouse driver. Needs to broken apart.

The above non converted files haven't been done because of the lack of
hardware docs. I attempted to convert but lacked the knowledge and
hardware to test the new drivers on.



For PS/2 type keyboards that interface to serial ports we have
ps2serkbd.c. Has been tested for certain setups.
