 hal is going away, so kbdshim needs to change.

 initial changes have been made to the kbdshim sources:  there is a new
 daemon available called olpc-kbdshim-udev which monitors udev events, and
 replumbs them to a virtual input device just as the other kbdshim programs
 do.

 what's missing is a mechanism to keep the X server from picking up the
 "direct" devices -- it should only use the virtual device.  this worked
 for the hal version due to some EVIOCGRAB trickery, but now we need
 something new.
