The keyboard does not really fit into the LED subsystem; LEDs are expected to be independent ("hdd led") and not a matrix of them. We do see various strange displays these days -- they commonly have rounded corners and holes in them. I'm not sure how that's currently supported, but I believe it is reasonable to view keyboard as a display with slightly weird placing of pixels. Plus, I'd really like to play tetris on one of those :-). So, would presenting them as auxdisplay be acceptable? Or are there better options?
