[kbd] unicode option for not working correctly since commit: bad17ea03

Hi,

The last commit (found through biscection) where kbd worked correctly with:

loadkeys -u

when the console is set to proper unicode mode was

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/legion/kbd.git/commit/?id=8d37c0e76fdb487845da74bdf0bbce13eebf7596

So for example (assuming LANG is set correctly as well to utf8 locale):

unicode_start LatArCyrHeb-16
loadkeys -u pl

still behaved fine.

But after two subsequent commits:

1) 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/legion/kbd.git/commit/?id=3fdbff332a6ef88a2447584c47a8616dceb19548 
(kbd doesn't compile as-is in this commit)

2) 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/legion/kbd.git/commit/?id=bad17ea033bf571e03b05e1330e81e6238fd61f0 
(kbd compiles fine here)

loadkeys -u no longer works and despite the console operating in utf-8 
mode requires console map (in this case -m 8859-2).
