[kbd] [PATCH] loadkeys -u: Switch to Unicode mode, if necessary

[Michael Schutte]

Make defkeys() KDSKBMODE to K_UNICODE before it starts to do KDSKBENT
ioctls.  Switch back to the preceding keyboard mode after defining keys.

This change is introduced for compatibility reasons, see
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/289265>.  As a minor difference, the warning
message telling users to run “kbd_mode -u” is printed whenever “loadkeys
-u” is used, not only when actual Unicode keysyms are loaded.
