The Maple bus is SEGA's proprietary serial bus for peripherals
(keyboard, mouse, controller etc). The bus is capable of some
(limited) hotplugging and operates at up to 2 M/bits.
Drivers of one sort or another existed/exist for 2.4 and a rudimentary
port, which didn't support the 2.6 device driver model was also in
existence.
This driver - for the bus logic itself and for the keyboard (other
drivers will follow) are based on the code and concepts of those old
drivers but have lots of completely rewritten parts.
I have the maple bus code as a built in now as that seems the sane and
rational way to handle something like that - you either want the bus
or you don't.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
