The mainstream kernel blends all keyboards together, e.g.
no matter which keyboard you type on, the active console
gets it.

This is changed in the Ruby multiconsole extension,
http://linuxconsole.sf.net or http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/
where multiple active consoles exist and keyboards are assigned
to their respective consoles. The keyboards can be reassigned
manually later. With this extension, every keyboards can have
their own keymaps.
