When the linux kernel sets the NX bit vm86 segfaults when it tries to execute
code in memory that is not marked EXEC. Such code gets called whenever
we return from a VBIOS call to signal the calling program that the call
is actually finished and that we are not trapping for other reasons (like
IO accesses).
Use mprotect(2) to set these memory ranges PROT_EXEC.
Works around a silly bug in the kernel that causes wakeup storms after
too many keypresses. Should fix the kernel bug too, but this at least
keeps the idle wakeup count below 1000/sec.
Usually, the console is set to RAW in the kbd driver. If we hotplug all input
devices (i.e. the evdev driver for keyboards) and the console is left as-is.
As a result, the evdev driver must put an EVIOCGRAB on the device to avoid
characters leaking onto the console. This again breaks many things, amongst
them lirc, in-kernel mouse button emulation and HAL.
This patch sets the console to RAW if AllowEmptyInput is on.
Use-cases:
1. AEI is off
1.1. Only kbd driver is used - behaviour as-is.
1.2. kbd and evdev driver is used: if evdev does not grab the device,
duplicate events are generated.
2. AEI is on
2.1. Only evdev driver is used - behaviour as-is, but evdev does not need
to grab the device anymore.
2.2. evdev and kbd are used: duplicate key events are generated if evdev
does not grab the device.
1.2 is a marginal use-case that can be fixed by adding a "grab" option to the
evdev driver (update of xorg.conf is needed).
2.2 is an issue. If we have no ServerLayout section, AEI is on, but devices
specified in the xorg.conf are still added [1], resulting in duplicate events.
This is a common configuration and needs sorting out.

The jstk code for Joysticks is not used by any module, was never actually compiled and uses an API
that is deprecated these days.
No reason to keep it.
This was a bunch of poorly defined resource ranges per OS/platform combination
which were supposed to represent what regions could potentially have resources
allocated into them.
A bunch of CFLAGS had gone missing, so the build failed with errors like:
../../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_ev56.c:7:19: error: input.h: No such file or directory
../../../../../hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_ev56.c:8:24: error: scrnintstr.h: No such file or directory
Add a generic 'ring the bell' function (console bell on Linux and BSD,
/dev/audio on Solaris), and add DDX functions for this. Make this the
core keyboard's bell.
Port Xvfb and Xnest to this.
Port XFree86 to this, with OS-specific hooks for Linux, BSD, and Solaris
taken from foo_io.c in the old layer.
