Stephan Aßmus e01a043190 Sorry for the confusing patch...
* Made KeyboardInputDevice more similar to MouseInputDevice, the object to
  track individual keyboards has become the class KeyboardDevice. Moved
  much functionality that used to be in KeyboardInputDevice into
  KeyboardDevice.
  Functionally, it should still be the same, but there are two important
  changes:
  - Each KeyboardDevice now has it's own Keymap. At first, it is not
    visible by the user, since all KeyboardDevices still adopt the keymap
    if the user reconfigures it. But it will make it easier to assign
    individual keymaps to each attached keyboard (and perhaps associate them
    with a vendor/product or some other means). The more immediate side effect
    is that there is no longer a confusion about the keyboard locks. If
    you press NumLock on your external keyboard, it will no longer enable
    NumLock on your notebooks internal keyboard.
  - KeyboardDevice now has a Stop() method, which it will call in it's
    destructor. This will make sure that the control thread is cleanly
    exited and does not end up invoking methods on a deleted object.
* Rewrote the tracing implementation in MouseInputDevice.cpp. At least it
  helped track me down the following problem:
* Both KeyboardDevice and MouseDevice now set fActive to "false" *before*
  closing the device. Since the control threads run at high priority, chances
  are high that rescheduling happens as soon as the device unblocks in
  ioctl() and returns an error. In that case, the control threads would
  check fActive and it would still be "true" and the whole idea of bailing
  out because we're already in Stop() would not work, causing a double free
  in the end.

All of this is nice and more correct, but input_server is still crashing
when restarting it via "input_server -q"... :-(
