I've been working on this for a while now, but I still cant get it to work reliably.
It took us about a YEAR(!) to get the bloody keyboard working reliably so you're on the early stage of your journey. In a future design I'm going to stick in something like an 8 bit Atmel AVR to mop up IO and have the dedicated task of talking to these bloody clock master PS/2 controllers to save the aggro. (it is a shame that Linux makes you go through such hoops for fast interrupt service though and is the reason why I never use the term RTOS applied to Linux even if the kernel has "realtime" patches - I can't help thinking this would have been easier in VxWorks!)
But anyway, after a couple of gentle nudges:

I'm not sure what dependent .h you might need so holler when it won't build!
