Re: [9fans] kbd.c

My students have just implemented a change to the distributed
kbd to let it use different tables. It does not need a different
device like kbmap, but instead lets the user select the table
to be used by using the config file. They are changing this
further to let the driver accept a "kbmap us" string into /dev/consctl
to change the tables at run time.

They plan to select a good implementation of this change and send the
contribution. Perhaps it would be better to unify this all to get just
one driver capable of adapting to most of our keyboards.
