did you have all these things connected at once? :) if so, then this is 
quite an impressive collections :)

please give yourself a credit too. you picked up where i left with 
bthidd(8), found and fixed silly typos etc. thank you for doing this.

could you please give a try to the following vkbd(4) patch?

http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/vkbd.c.diff.txt

this patch essentially removes custom locking from the vkbd(4) and makes 
it rely on Giant mutex (just like the rest of keyboard drivers and 
syscons(4) do).

thanks,
max
