+ * When we leave the debug trap handler we need to reset the keyboard status
+ * (since the original keyboard state gets partially clobbered by kdb use of
+ * the keyboard).
+ *
+ * The path to deliver the reset is somewhat circuitous.
+ *
+ * To deliver the reset we register an input handler, reset the keyboard and
+ * then deregister the input handler. However, to get this done right, we do
+ * have to carefully manage the calling context because we can only register
+ * input handlers from task context.
+ *
+ * In particular we need to trigger the action from the debug trap handler with
+ * all its NMI and/or NMI-like oddities. To solve this the kgdboc trap exit code
+ * (the "post_exception" callback) uses irq_work_queue(), which is NMI-safe, to
+ * schedule a callback from a hardirq context. From there we have to defer the
+ * work again, this time using schedule_work(), to get a callback using the
+ * system workqueue, which runs in task context.
