If we make it so that vkbd is also useful from whthin the kernel, then
we can use it to implement many different things.  The code doesn't
look that far from this ideal, although I'm not sure what the right
API is for doing it.

If bluetooth keyboards do become common place, we'll have to move
bluetooth into the kernel to support them in single user mode or in
ddb.
