vt: Add virtual console keyboard mode OFF
virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11 using evdev for input.
