After doing some researching, yes usbd(8) was made obsolete in favor of devd(8). So, that part of the question's answered, and appears to be in shape, but the device nodes still aren't being detected properly under 7-CURRENT (they were being detected properly under 6.2-RELEASE).

A printout of /dev along with my dmesg is attached.

For now I suppose my only workaround is to go buy a PS/2 keyboard, but it seems kind of silly given the circumstances. However, I need to work on my SoC project in a native environment, so desperate times call for desperate measures.
