Add a new virtio-input library crate that wraps the VirtIOInput device from virtio-drivers 0.12, following the same transport/HAL pattern used by virtio-gpu and virtio-net. The driver discovers VirtIO input devices via PCI class 9/0 (keyboard controllers) and provides an InputDevice wrapper with pop_event() for polling raw input events (Linux evdev format: event_type, code, value). Also adds -device virtio-keyboard-pci to the QEMU configuration so the keyboard device is available on boot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
