I have a quick question regarding the vt driver which hopefully someone
involved in its design could answer for me.

Roughly 4 months ago, vt gained the ability to listen to a set of
keyboard combinations controlling power/debug situations and the ability
to control (or more precisely, turn off) their behavior via sysctls:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/vt/vt_core.c?r1=271380&r2=271381&;

Interestingly, two cases in particular (excluding SPSC which isn't
implemented yet) were left out of this configuration, namely the standby
and suspend modes (STBY, SUSP), making use of those keys completely
non-optional.

If anyone could tell me, what was the reason for not including sysctls
for those two modes?

m.
