So it's not clear from your original message how you are using kbdcontrol and
kbdmux.  It sounds like you want the USB keyboard (when present) to be the 
normal keyboard for syscons and atkbd0 to be left alone for use by a specific 
process, yes?  Can't you just do 'kbdcontrol -A atkbd0 < /dev/kbdmux0' once 
during boot and be done?  The default for the USB keyboard should be for it 
to be added to kbdmux0 and thus result in it being used for the regular 
console without any special magic needed.
