Tried my initial patch on some 7.0-PRERELEASE -- it locks keyboard when
geli asks for the password.  Had not much time to dig it out, will try
to do it as soon as I can.  Substituting KBDMUX_LOCK/UNLOCK with Giant
locking helps even on this FreeBSD version.

More testing needed, may be there are some other issues that aren't
revealing themselves...
