I am be very sure(and thus please verify all of it), but I think keyboard
drivers are statically compiled and they are tied to tty consoles.
you may have to use one of the other testing mechanism like virtualization
i.e. use usermode linux etc and compile your module along with they
keyboard driver because keyboard drivers come up very early in booting
process.
