Make non-UTF-8 consoles work correctly in .24+ kernels
* Since 2.6.24 the virtual terminal is in UTF-8 mode
and the keyboard is in Unicode mode by default,
and configurable only at run-time.
* To make non-UTF-8 consoles work correctly:
- the non-UTF-8 mode is set for the virtual terminal,
- the XLATE mode is set for the keyboard.
* UTF-8 mode is still set explicitly (not relying on default),
so console works correctly even in a case when user set vt.default_utf8=0
in kernel commandline, but LOCALE in rc.conf is *.UTF-8.
* % is a special symbol for printf, so it should be written twice.
