MFC r297685: Add option to specify built-in keymap for kbdmux

This isn't functionally identical. In some cases a hint to disable
unit 0 would in fact disable all units.

This reverts r241856

Now that device disabling is generic, remove extraneous code from the
device drivers that used to provide this feature.

Restore binary compatibility for GIO_KEYMAP and PIO_KEYMAP.

Back in 2009 I changed the ABI of the GIO_KEYMAP and PIO_KEYMAP ioctls
to support wide characters. I created a patch to add ABI compatibility
for the old calls, but I didn't get any feedback to that.

It seems now people are upgrading from 8 to 9 they experience this
issue, so add it anyway.

Explicitly tell the compiler that we don't care about the return value
of kbdd_ioctl().

Use proper types in kbdmux_kbd_getc():

- The return value should be a signed integer, because -1 means failure.
- The c variable should be unsigned, to force it to be zero-extended
when returned.

Move buffer management into kbd and kbdmux drivers.

These two drivers seem to be the last consumers of clists. clists are
quite overengineered for simple circular buffers, so I'm adding similar
buffer management routines to the kbd and kbdmux drivers. The input
buffer is now part of the softc structures, instead of having
dynamically allocated cblocks.

Undo SVN rev 183283

Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and apparently
causing more problems than it solves. This will re-open the issue
where interrupt handlers may race with kbdmux(4) in polling mode.
Typical symptoms include (but not limited to) duplicated and/or
missing characters when low level console functions (such as gets)
are used while interrupts are enabled (for example geli password
prompt, mountroot prompt etc.)

Since r188030 the error value for attach is returned, this means if kbdmux
fails to attach (possibly due to disable hints) then we get called back for
unload. Correctly handle the case where the keyboard isnt found rather than
calling panic.

Don't include <sys/tty.h> in non-TTY drivers.

The kbd, kbdmux, ugen and uhid drivers included <sys/tty.h>, because
they needed clists, which have been moved to <sys/clist.h> some time
ago. In the MPSAFE TTY branch, <sys/tty.h> does not include
<sys/clist.h>, which means we have to teach these drivers to include
this header file directly.

Remove explicit calls to keyboard methods with their respective variants
implemented with macros. This patch improves code readability. Reasoning
behind kbdd_* is a "keyboard discipline".

List of macros is supposed to be complete--all methods of keyboard_switch
should have their respective macros from now on.

Functionally, this code should be no-op. My intention is to leave current
behaviour of code as is.

Fix our ioctl(2) implementation when the argument is "int". New
ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro.
This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable
being keyboard/syscons ioctls.

Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the
handling of old ioctls on sparc64.

Revert back to always using *(int *)arg for now. While this
is incorrect, and causes endianness bugs on 64-bit big-endian
machines (sparc64), it's the best choice for now, as many of
these IOCTLs are used inside the kernel, and bogusly pass an
argument as "int *" which results in unaligned access panics
on sparc64 when attempting to dereference them via *(intptr_t *).

(Several of us are working on a real fix, which is uneasy.)

Fix hard lockup caused by kbdmux(4) when kbdmux(4), PS/2 keyboard
(atkbd(4)) and PS/2 mouse (psm(4)) are used together.

Turns out that atkbd(4) check_char() method may return "true" while
read_char() method returns NOKEY. When this happens kbdmux(4) was
simply stuck in the dead loop. Avoid dead loop in kbdmux(4) by breaking
out of the loop if read_char() method returns NOKEY.

It almost seems like a bug in atkkbd(4), atkbd_check_char() calls
kbdc_data_ready(), and, the later will return "true" if there are
pending data in either kbd or aux queue. However, because both aux
and kbd are on the same controller, I'm not sure if this is a bug
or feature.

kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer integration

o Slightly change KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD ioctl() interface. Instead of passing
keyboard index pass keyboard_info_t structure with populated 'kb_unit' and
'kb_name' fields. Keyboard index is not very user-friendly and is not very
easy to obtain. Keyboard driver name and unit, on the other hand, is much
more user friendly and known almost all the time;

o Move definition of keyboard_info_t structure up;

o Teach kbdcontrol(1) how to attach/detach keyboards to/from the keyboard
multiplexor;

o Update kbdcontrol(1) man page and document new functionality.

To attach/detach keyboard to/from keyboard multiplexor one needs to use
keyboard device name (i.e. ukbd0).
