Peter Hutterer 9dca441670 xfree86: add a hook to replace the new console handler. ...

This hook is only necessary for the keyboard driver to remove the race
condition between drain_console() and the driver's ReadInput (Bug 29969).

The idea is that a driver that needs to handle events from the console
calls xf86ReplaceConsoleHandler() with it's own ReadInput (or NULL) and thus
removes the drain_console call. It's the driver's responsibility to restore
the previous behaviour when the driver is unloaded.
