Or actually maybe using UTF-8 internally is the right way to go. Then we 
have less conversion and overhead to do in the default (serial) case.

Marek, what's your take on the idea? We could just make the i8042 driver 
emit UTF-8 codes on getc(). Then everything internally would just be 
based on UTF-8 and we don't need to push target input awareness into 
layers that really shouldn't care.

In fact, this probably should be a call in charset.c or so. Something 
like get_utf8() with a function pointer argument that basically just 
passes getc().
