+This is a simple USB keyboard driver written from Linus'
+USB driver (started with Greg's usb-0.03b.tar.gz source
+tree)
+
+It works fine with my BTC keyboard but I'm still investigating
+trouble with my MS keyboard (trouble starts with an inability
+to set into boot protocol mode, though, this very well could
+be all due to crappy hardware).
+
+Anyway, I would appreciate you taking a look if you have
+any USB keyboards lying around.  Oh also, I'm doing this on
+UHCI so sorry if it breaks with OHCI.

+Keyboard patch
+--------------
+
+Instead of using the multiple keyboard patch and then running into all
+of the kernel version problems that the current Linux-USB project has
+had, I'm just mapping the USB keycodes to the standard AT-101 keycodes
+and sending them directly to "handle_scancode".
+
+This may or may not be considered a hack.  Anyway it is effective, and
+I think safe, and allows USB keyboards to coexist with a serial
+keyboard (oh yeah, one side effect is that you can for example hold
+down the control key on the serial keyboard and press "a" on the USB
+keyboard and you get Control-a like with Windows USB) and works
+fine for console and X.
+
+You do need to make a *tiny* patch the kernel source tree so that the
+function "handle_scancode" is exported from keyboard.c though.
+
+  $ cd /usr/src/linux
+  $ patch -p0 < kbd.patch
+
+And, of course, then, you need to rebuild and install the kernel.
+
+** [Vojtech]: Alternately, just 'insmod kbd-stub', if you don't want
+to use the keyboard and are too lazy to patch the kernel.
+
+Keyboard map
+------------
+
+I'm including a stupid utility "mkmap" which generates the USB->serial
+keymap.  It takes in maps/serial.map (the current serial keymap,
+generated by "dumpkeys"), maps/usb.map (the USB keymap), and
+maps/fixup.map (fixes for e0 keys and misc.) and spits out keymap.c
+Anyway, it is not beautiful but should serve its purpose for the
+moment.
+
+Other changes
+-------------
+uhci.c:
+  * added a context value to the irq callback function
+    (this is exactly like the "dev_id" field to request_irq)
+  * played with uhci_reset_port to get better hot-plug results
+    (eg. do a wait_ms(200) before calling uhci_reset_port)
+usb.c:
+  * disconnect all devices after uhci-control thread is killed
+  * skip over the HID descriptor
+  * disconnect the high-level driver in usb_disconnect
