I only know about sc/atkbd and am trying not to break ukbd.

The cause of Bug 211884 (ukbd?) is still unknown.  Bugzilla is too hard
to access for me, but the PR seems to be missing critical info about the
environment (is the console vt or sc?).

kbdmux is still missing the fix that is blamed for causing Bug 211884.
I need to fix kbdmux before changing sc to depend on it being fixed.
vt already depends on it being fixed.  Howver, vt also depends on
going through kbdmux.  ukbd doesn't attach properly directly for vt.

ukbd passed tests of working in panic mode yesterday.  It actually
works perfectly in panic + ddb (polled) mode.  Much better than in
just ddb mode.  Panic mode turns off its locking and thus gives
races instead of deadlocks and assertion failures, and the races
aren't very harmful in panic mode.  So the basic polling method in
ukbd is working except when it tries to do correct locking.
