Why do you need a stream device?  Can you please be more specific?

I assume you ran into the problem of not having a good keyboard and/or
mouse device for the Hurd.  There is one supplied with debian, you can
use this one.  See the instructions in the install guide:

http://web.walfield.org/pub/people/neal/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html#SEC16

Please do not implement a keyboard stream driver yet, I already have
some stuff (unusable for what you want).

It would be really useful if you would tell us what you are exactly
doing and what the exact problem is.

Thanks,
Marco
