>Description:
The keyboard I am using is a Max Keyboard Nighthawk X9. It features
full N-key rollover, which is supposed to allow pressing all keys at
once, so it reports all keys as a bitmap, rather than the usual 6-byte
array of keycodes. This confuses the ukbd driver.

The relevant part of dmesg with hw.usb.ukbd.debug=1:

Most keys don't work and show this:

    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=15 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000
    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=15 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000

Modifier keys (e.g. Ctrl) appear to work:

    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=15 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0001
    ukbd_put_key: 0xe0 (224) pressed
    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=15 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000
    ukbd_put_key: 0x4e0 (1248) released

Multimedia keys don't do anything at all.

Special profile keys (e.g. Fn+PF1) also appear to work:

    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=8 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000
    ukbd_intr_callback: [0] = 0xf1
    ukbd_put_key: 0xf1 (241) pressed
    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=8 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000
    ukbd_put_key: 0x4f1 (1265) released
    ukbd_intr_callback: actlen=8 bytes
    ukbd_intr_callback: modifiers = 0x0000

There are three HID descriptors:

Note the 112-count bitmap in descriptor number 2. This is what is in
the 15-byte report used for most keys. There is a 6-byte array in
descriptor number 0, but that is only used to report the special
profile keys. Descriptor number 1 is used for multimedia keys.

>How-To-Repeat:
Plug in a Max Keyboard Nighthawk X9 keyboard. It works in BIOS and in
the FreeBSD boot loader menu, but stops working after boot.
>Fix:
The keyboard works fine in boot protocol. Running this

    # usbconfig -d 0.4 add_quirk UQ_KBD_BOOTPROTO

and unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in fixes it, as does
adding the quirk for vendor 0x0665 product 0x6000 in usb_quirk.c.

However, I think it's better to detect this type of HID descriptor,
rather than to enumerate all the products that have it, so I propose
the attached patch.

Without UKBD_FLAG_EVENTS the keyboard gets forced into boot protocol in
ukbd_attach(). I have tested this and it works. Ordinary USB keyboard
should continue working in normal protocol as before, but I haven't
tested this.

I suspect this patch also obviates the need for the Corsair Vengeance
K60 keyboard quirk in usb_quirk.c, because that keyboard has 20-key
rollover and so probably the same sort of descriptor, but I don't have
one to test.

Ideally I would like to get this keyboard to work in normal protocol
with full rollover for perfectionist reasons, but I guess that would
require too many changes to ukbd.c and introduce overhead for the
majority of keyboards.
