[PATCH] advertise KT_DEAD2

[PATCH] advertise KT_DEAD2

[Samuel Thibault]

In addition to KT_DEAD which has limited support for diacriticals, there
is KT_DEAD2 that can support 256 criticals, so let's advertise it in
<linux/keyboard.h>.

Can you do more of an explanation for this? KT_DEAD2 does not show up in a 
kernel grep, so..

That's precisely why I'm defining it.  Other KT_* aren't usually
used from the kernel itself, but from userland.  The kernel part is
the k_dead2 function in drivers/char/keyboard.c, like k_dead is for
KT_DEAD, the relation being in the K_HANDLERS initializer, sorry for not
mentioning it in my first mail.
