Multiple Keyboards

Are there plans for the kernel to support multiple keyboard devices? (I'm running 2.4-18SMP, which maps them all to one device.)

If not, perhaps someone can give me an idea of what I need to do. What I want to do is get several USB keyboards to map to:
/dev/input/keyboard1, /dev/input/keyboard2, etc., the way multiple USB mice are handled.

In case you wonder why anyone would like to do this, I want to support multiple X servers.
