If we can keep the alias in the kbd driver instead of hardcoding a
strcmp("keyboard", ...) in the module loading logic it should be OK.
Maybe we can let the module register two drivers, or make a "keyboard"
module that just loads "kbd" as a submodule.

Hmm... there is also #1029 which could require packager attention. This
could be an appendix in the release notes.
