Here is a bit of arch/i386/config.in:
<extract>
# input before char - char/joystick depends on it. As does USB.
#
source drivers/input/Config.in
source drivers/char/Config.in
</extract>
So it will still crap out, because CONFIG_VT and CONFIG_SUN_KEYBOARD won't be
set early enough.
Three possible options, none of them especially good:
1. Do various munging of config and make setup and try to cover this.
2. Move keyboard handling code to input subsystem
3. Do wholesale backport of input subsystem from 2.5
