Well, if you do direct I/O the the keyboard controller, you face a
number of problems:

	1. Your code is not portable, in no way. Not even between
	different architectures running Linux
	2. You face races between your code and the in-kernel code which
	will cause spurious errors

That's not good at all:-(
