Redirect USB keyboard to something

If you are on linux and using Xorg's evdev driver for keyboard input,
you can configure evdev to ignore that keyboard.  Your app can, then,
directly read that keyboard using the same kernel API evdev uses:
char special files /dev/input/{1..31}.

I don't know whether it is possible on other platforms, especially
when X's keyboard driver is used for keyboard input.
