[PATCH] vt: Drop K_OFF for VC_MUTE

From: Adam Jackson
Date: Fri Nov 16 2012 - 13:32:27 EST


The "don't enqueue stuff" semantics of K_OFF shouldn't be a function of
the keyboard map state; we should be able to switch among cooked/raw/
unicode without changing whether events are delivered. Otherwise - if
changing to K_UNICODE undoes K_OFF - then suddenly Alt-F2 under
Gnome will switch VT instead of summoning the "run command" dialog.

Drop the K_OFF handling and replace it with a new "mute" ioctl pair.
Anybody using K_OFF would already need to be prepared to handle it
throwing -EINVAL for old kernel compatibility, so userspace will degrade
gracefully.
