This program changed one more time. I hope
it's the last time it happens.

I changed it to send scan codes from the usb keyboard
to the kernel. After considering all the alternatives,
the more simple and clean way was to remove all keymap
processing from usbhid and let the kernel do that (now that
the std one does it).


Thus, the usbhid thing stands now as follows:
	- the usr-level program handles usb mouse/kbd.
	- it feeds mouse / keyboard events through /dev files
	- a pc/devkbdin.c provides /dev/kbdin for that purpose
	- keymap, Latin composition, etc. are all handled by the kernel
	 using devkbmap.

I have pushed the changes to /n/sources/nemo.
