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.

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.
