this was beaten to death on cvs-src, src-committers and cvs-all. please
look for the huge discussion followed by my vkbd commit

when people learn to read man pages? :) that is what they are for! :)
vkbd(4) is just a way to feed key events into the kernel. key events
have to be obtained somehow. in case of bluetooth all key codes passed
through the rest of the stack. obviously bluetooth stack does not work
when you are at ddb prompt.

i do not understand why this keeps poping up :( if it is required to
support wireless keyboards under ddb then support must be impemented on
lower lever, i.e. in bios.
