--- Comment #2 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
I am not able to reproduce keymap="us.pc-ctrl.kbd"; this is the correct value
for the CapsLock-is-ctrl keyboard if the syscons(4) console is in use, but by
default 11.x and later use vt(4) by default.

The extension is indeed not required, and according to rc.conf(5) is not
included in the canonical use of the keymap variable. That said, kbdcontrol -l
first tries to load the provided keyboard map from the argument exactly as
provided, and failing that tries <value>.kbd. Thus, I think we should:

1. change kbdcontrol to first try <value>.kbd, if <value> does not already end
in .kbd, then <value> as provided.

2. have kbdmap strip the .kbd extension from its output
