Let sunkbd(4) emulate an AT keyboard by default.
This has the following benefits: - allows to use the AT keyboard maps in share/syscons/keymaps with sunkbd(4), - allows to use kbdmux(4) with sunkbd(4), - allows Sun RS232 keyboards to be configured and used the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation) with X.Org, putting an end to the problem of native support for the former in X.Org being broken over and over again. MFC after: 3 days
