This patch adds the KBIO text input driver for FreeBSD, which allows text input to fully work without text spilling out into the console. It also supports accented input, AltGr keys and Alt Lock combinations.
Tested with US accent keys layout and various AltGr layouts.
Only two chars are used but the full prototype is:
int tioclinux(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned long arg)
==5010== Syscall param ioctl(TIOCLINUX) points to uninitialised byte(s)

When using SLD2 on a Linux console with the KMS/DRM video backend and Linux evdev keyboard support, the caps lock, scroll lock, and num lock leds do not work.
The attached patch adds ioctls for setting the LED state in SDL_evdev_kbd.c
"In release 2.0.6, when Linux evdev keyboard support has been moved to a
separate source file, a feature was added to disable normal keyboard event
processing to prevent "spilling" keystrokes to background virtual console.
This feature has one unpleasant side effect: if application fails to call
`SDL_Exit` before termination or crashes with fatal signal, console is left
in unusable state with keyboard not working and no possibility to switch
virtual console. If user has a chance, he can login remotely and restore
keyboard with `kbd_mode`, otherwise the only option is to reboot the machine.
This patch fixes that problem by intercepting fatal signals (with `sigaction`)
and process termination (with `atexit`), to restore keyboard state, if it
wasn't properly restored with `SDL_Exit`.
The function registered with `atexit` also restores original signal handlers,
to prevent leaving invalid handlers after SDL library is unloaded, if it was
loaded dynamically with `dlopen`.
No signal handlers or `atexit` function are installed if SDL boolean hint
`SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS` is `SDL_TRUE`.
Additionally, if environment variable `SDL_INPUT_LINUX_KEEP_KBD` exists,
keyboard initialization function completely skips disabling keyboard. This
can be useful for debugging."
Fixes Bugzilla #4193.
This was reproducible by running an SDL app on the console from an ssh login. In this case the terminal wasn't owned by the user running the app, so we were using the default keymap, which didn't have state transitions defined for ctrl and alt, so once we entered that state keypresses would no longer transition out of that state, nor would they generate text.
As a workaround, we'll just reset to the default shift state if that happens, which means we'll get text for keys pressed while ctrl is held down, but I don't think that's a big problem.
Note that in this case we also can't mute the keyboard, so the keypresses go to the console, which probably isn't what you want...
