Yeah -- I'll probably write a thread that starts up and feeds kgetch based
on curses polled (blocked) input. That will be cheap on the CPU. Then if I
can figure out how he handles the interrupt, I can probably simulate
something similar to get tweaked from the polling thread. I think that will
work nicely.
