  Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and apparently
  causing more problems than it solves. This will re-open the issue
  where interrupt handlers may race with kbdmux(4) in polling mode.
  Typical symptoms include (but not limited to) duplicated and/or
  missing characters when low level console functions (such as gets)
  are used while interrupts are enabled (for example geli password
  prompt, mountroot prompt etc.)
