It's standard kbd keymap (pl.map.gz).

Yea, it still seems to handle input with 8th bit set providing
workaround for the issue.

Simple test:

1) log on console, assure proper LANG (e.g. pl_PL.utf8 or en_US.utf8)
2) unicode_start LatArCyrHeb-16
3) loadkeys -u pl

This basically should work just fine. Polish glyphs are under
alt-a,c,e,l,n,o,s,x,z

On pre-2.0 versions all will be working fine (or to be precise,
pre-commit I bisected). After that commit some will be failing. If you
do setfont -m 8859-2 - this will provide the workaround.
