I would like to import OpenBSD code which implements the
WSKBDIO_SETMODE ioctl in akbd to support a raw mode suitable for
XFree86 servers.

From a XFree86 point of view, this is the way to go to get better
support for keyboards in XFree86.

If you have any comment or suggestion (like "please hold off, I'm
already working on this"), please tell me.
