Does this mean mandatory in the sense that the kbdmux driver always
gets built and loaded, or that the kbdmux driver must always be in
operation (treating all keyboard-like devices as a single unified
source of keystrokes)?  I could live with the first, but there are
definitely times that I want multiple independent keyboards on a
system to be considered unrelated to one another.         -- George
