Pressing Escape will only actually work if keymap is currently examining the
primary keyboard. For other devices the user needs to press Control-C instead.
Some drivers, like thinkpad_acpi, do not send a scan code at all (for known
keys), and some send the key code first, then the scan code. Implement a better
state machine which acceps them in any order and wait until a SYN event. If the
driver does not send SYN events, keymap will also handle this and print out
that fact.
Thanks to Seth Forshee for pointing out how this really works!

On the console indian characters cannot be displayed, hence it is
advisable to disable indian locales on the console, which most
distributions traditionally did from a shell fragment executed post
login. If getty gets started with locale settings passed it would itself
however be translated without the no-indian-on-console fixup applied.
Hence, for now don't pass any locale settings to getty/login, and thus
rely on the classic post-login script fragment to set and fix the
locale.
Eventually we probably want to drop this again since the system locale
should be read and set at one place, and not at multiple, and that one
place should be PID 1.

TERM=vt100-nav was necessary for compat with some ppc hvc devices, a
long time ago. Unfortunately vt100-nav terminfo is not installed by
default on most distros, hence change the default to v100 which is
available universally and still should be a relatively safe and
conservative default.
Should it turn out that vt100 is not really the best choice we can
revert this change again and then ask distros to move vt100-nav into
their default install.
Currently, Eee PC have a hotkey that generates KEY_F13 but this
will soon change to KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOOGLE. Both cases do not
work well with X.
X has defined F21 for the purpose of touchpad toggle and other
udev keymaps align with this meaning. Patch aligns Eee PC
hotkey drivers with F21.
Tested on Eee PC 1005PE using both eeepc-wmi and eeepc-laptop driver
(with acpi_osi="!Windows 2009").
