machine only with usb keyboard
kernel build without atkbd / kbdmux devices

>Description:
	xorg-server can't load usb keyboards via config/hal.
	It fails at device open, as hal have a device key.

	This is not noticeable in an stock system.
	The presence of an atkbd without a hal device key
	makes xorg-server load the module.

	Seems that xorg-server keyboard is not device oriented
	and hal must not have a device key for usb keyboard 

>How-To-Repeat:
	You can see this on the Xorg logs.
	In systems without kernel atkbd device, xorg-server
	can't get a functional keyboad

>Fix:
	Don't add a device key for usb keyborads, as is done
	for at ones (PS/2)

	- hf_device_set_input(device, "keyboard", devname);
	+ hf_device_set_input(device, "keyboard", NULL);
