I buy your logic.   I have moved the kdb_keyboard.c to
kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_keyboard.c.

Can I assume we have reached closure on this patch for the short term?

Eventually I would like to to get rid of kdb_keyboard.c entirely and
replace it with some kind of way to atomically poll the input devices,
but this is longer term.

Thanks,
