We already have a knob to control these tools -- LEGACY_CONSOLE.  The
three related console knobs are:

LEGACY_CONSOLE - kbdcontrol, moused, etc. which support both
syscons(4) and vt(4)
SYSCONS - key maps, fonts, etc. for syscons(4)
VT - key maps, fonts, etc. for vt(4)

LEGACY_CONSOLE may be poorly named, but just adding || MK_VT != no
isn't correct. Eliminating it, and using MK_SYSCONS != no || MK_VT !=
no might be.
