Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

# 4673ea01 14-Jul-2005 Maksim Yevmenkin <emax@FreeBSD.org>

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).

Change the USB keyboard example to use /dev/ukbd0 instead of /dev/kbd1.

This example caused me to incorrectly believe that you must use the
generic device nodes when you can in fact use either. It's often better
to use the driver specific node.

mdoc(7) police:

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to

The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
