Also the new code Keystrokes are already hooked (except for polled console input, where the commit in the subject line removed it). >(from the latest Linux kernel) has mouse randomness as well. My original >idea was to hook the mouse driver in syscons as well. Any ideas there? Perhaps hook all slow ttys. >Also - I am massaging a later version for inclusion.

It's actually the best placement if pc98 really needs to copy it. pc98 doesn't really need to copy it - it just needs to include pc98 headers instead of isa ones to get the clock address etc. I expect the pc98 version will be merged soon. All the isa interrupt hooking parts belong where they are. See spl(9) about spls. Bruce
