actually, now i'm confused. as you stated you have reverted 
/sys/dev/kbd/kbd.c and /sys/dev/kbd/kbdreg.h. are these only files you 
have reverted?

i think, i can rule out /sys/dev/kbd/kbdreg.h - this just add a 
prototype for kbd_find_keyboard2().

so this leaves only /sys/dev/kbd/kbd.c. the only change here was new 
kbd_find_keyboard2() function and change to the original 
kbd_find_keyboard() function. kbd_find_keyboard2() function is almost 
the same as the original kbd_find_keyboard() function. the only 
difference is that kbd_find_keyboard2() accepts one extra parameter that 
specifies starting index for search. it also checks the index to make 
sure it is within valid bounds. naturally, kbd_find_keyboard() can just 
call kbd_find_keyboard2() with starting index of 0 to emulate old 
behavior. unless i screwed up here, i do not see how this would break 
anything.

also, one thing i noticed in your dmesg output

atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x3 irq 1 on atkbdc0
atkbd: the current kbd controller command byte 0065
atkbd: keyboard ID 0xffffffff (1)
kbd0 at atkbd0
kbd0: atkbd0, AT 84 (1), config:0x3, flags:0x3d0000
atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

just wanted to clarify - do you really have 84-keys at keyboard?

thanks,
