[PATCH 15/76] vt: Add virtual console keyboard mode OFF

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>]

From: Arthur Taylor <art@ified.ca>

virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF

Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input
other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from
overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11
using evdev for input.
