keyboard is detected the pckbd keyboard is not used as the console.
Previously the pckbd keyboard was used as the console as soon as the
kernel had it configured into the kernel. This is far from ideal on a
machine that has no PS/2 keyboard, but a USB keyboard attached since the
(non-existant) PS/2 keyboard becomes the console instead of the USB keyboard.
For now this option will be off by default to be backwards compatible.

the PR for details on why this is necessary.

drivers that attach to it. This allows for other host interface chips
that use the same keyboards and mice, such as the ones in the ARM
IOMD20, ARM7500, and SA-1111. The PC-compatible driver is still
called pckbc(4), and the new abstraction layer is "pckbport", so the
child devices have moved from sys/dev/pckbc to sys/dev/pckbport, which
also contains some code shared between all host controllers. To avoid
incompatibility, pckbdreg.h is still installed in
/usr/include/dev/pckbc.
In theory, this shouldn't cause any behavioural changes in the drivers
concerned. Thy just use rather more function pointers than before. Tested
on i386 and (with a new host driver) acorn32. Compiled on several other
affected architectures.
