UseDeprecatedKeyboardDriver should be TRUE on most OS'es since the new keyboard
driver is not supported on them.

The simplest check for which OS'es it works on and doesn't seems to be seeing if
xf86OSKbdPreInit is a stub that just returns FALSE or actually inits the function
pointers in the OS'es directory under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support

A quick peek seems to show these implementations do have kbd driver support:

bsd/bsd_kbd.c
linux/lnx_kbd.c
os2/os2_kbd.c

and these do not:

bsdi/bsdi_io.c
dgux/dgux_io.c
hurd/hurd_io.c
lynxos/lynx_io.c
nto/nto_io.c
pmax/pmax_devs.c
qnx4/qnx_io.c
sco/sco_io.c
shared/kbd.c
sunos/sun_io.c
sysv/sysv_io.c

The fix proposed at release-wranglers was to change the default to YES and just
set NO for the platforms we know support it, at least for this release.
