Trying to help out…

I went to a -current machine and found no problems compiling a kernel
with non-default keymap, besides the limitations discussed.
I prepared a simple patch, which enables the usage of any valid keymap
name, regardless of the building machine's active console. Also, it uses
the keymaps from sources instead of the ones installed on the building
machine.

I opened a bug report for that:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193865

Don't know if component kern is really best choice… Maybe "conf" matches
better?

Can you review/comment?

Thanks,

-Harry
