Couldn't replacement /usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev/kbd* be created that
understand how to talk to the dumb PC keyboard?

Clearly this has been done for the i386 port, so I was guessing that it
wouldn't be too difficult to port the code to the amiga side (noting that
rather than reading ports, we need to talk to a cia).
