Generally the input library handles processing of a list of scanned keys.
Repeated keys need to be generated based on a timer in this case, since all
that is provided is a list of keys current depressed.
Keyboards which do their own scanning will resend codes when they want to
inject a repeating key. Provide a function which tells the input library to
accept repeating keys and not to try to second-guess the caller.

Most keyboards can be scanned to produce a list of the keycodes which are
depressed. With the i8042 keyboard this scanning is done internally and
only the processed results are returned.
In this case, when a key is pressed, a 'make' code is sent. When the key
is released a 'break' code is sent. This means that the driver needs to
keep track of which keys are pressed. It also means that any protocol error
can lead to stuck keys.
In order to support this type of keyboard, add a function when can be used
to provide a single keycode and either add it to the list of what is pressed
or remove it from the list. Then the normal input_send_keycodes() function
can be used to actually do the decoding work.
Add debugging to display the ASCII characters written to the input queue
also.

Require the caller to add the keycode translation tables separately so that
it can select which ones to use. In a later patch we will add the option to
add German tables.

To support Non-ASCII keys (ex, Fn, PgUp/Dn, arrow keys, ...), we need to
translate key code into escape sequence.
(Updated by sjg@chromium.org to move away from a function to store
keycodes, so we can easily record how many were sent. We now need to
return this from input_send_keycodes() so we know whether keys were
generated.)

It is inconvenient to have to specify the keyboard repeat and delay at
init time if it is not yet available, so move this into a separate
function.
Some drivers will want to do this when their keyboard init routine
is actually called.

Add a module which understands converting key codes (or scan codes)
to ASCII characters. It includes FIFO support and can call back to
drivers to read new characters when its FIFO is empty.
Keycode maps are provided for un-modified, shift and ctrl keys.
The plan is to use this module where such mapping is required.
