zkbdZaurus keyboard support

zkbd0 at pxaip?
wskbd* at zkdb?

The zkbd driver provides support for the native keyboard found on the Zaurus. Access to the keyboard is through the wskbd(4) driver.

The Zaurus keyboard uses some strange chording behaviours to make certain key combinations show up. The left-hand Japanese key beside Ctrl (kana/hira) is mapped as the ALT key. The non-obvious key mappings are explained here:

{
}
`
F1
F2
F3
F4
F5
ESC
Enter
Up and Down
Right
Left
Page Up
Page Down
Home
End

On/Off is special: pressing the key will immediately suspend the system. Pressing the key while the Zaurus is suspended will cause it to resume. Pressing the key longer than 3 seconds will do a nice halt if the hw.allowpowerdown sysctl(8) variable is 1.

All keyboard input (including the On/Off key) is ignored if the display is shut.

Additional keys can be generated by a remote control plugged into the headphone jack - see zrc(4). For information on the use and configuration of the keyboard refer to wskbd(4).
