That would be extremely easy to accomplish.  All I'd have to do is to
comment out one line and then the USB event thread would handle
the attachment.
But this would mean that the keyboard(s) would not get to be usable
until the system is running.  As it is you at least have a chance of
using a USB keyboard for DDB (it's not been tested, so it probably
doesn't work).  And I would still have to keep the polling code around
since, again, it is needed when you break into DDB.

So, what do you think?
