Here's a message announcing a kdb patch for USB keyboards.  It modifies
the usb-uhci and hid drivers, so authors of those pieces might want to
take a look at the patch to see if you have any objections.

thanks,

greg k-h

Thanks for the patch, it has been uploaded as
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v2.1/kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-ia64-usb-keyboard-1.bz2.

A couple of comments:

Could you use the same coding standard as the rest of the kernel and
usb code?  It makes the patch look cleaner.  Running your changes
through scripts/Lindent is the easiest way to standardize the code.

You test jiffies, looking for a timeout.  When kdb is in control all
interrupts are disabled, including the timer.  jiffies should not be
changing at all.
