As of now, the kernel defaults to non-unicode and XLATE for the keyboard.
We've been changing this in Fedora, but that requires patching the defaults
in the kernel.

The attached introduces CONFIG_VT_UNICODE, which sets the console in unicode
mode by default on boot, including both the virtual terminal and the keyboard

Wasn't there a patch floating around about this a couple of months ago, which also let you set the system-wide default via sysctl?
