I don't like the prospect.  Why?

Because it makes it impossible to hook a keyboard up to a normal serial
port with level-shifting electronics and then proceed to configure it
as and use it as a keyboard.  (Yes, I have done this.)

It also makes it impossible to use the level-shifting electronics in
the other direction to use the keyboard and mouse ports as serial
lines, a la the FOUR_TTYS config the sun3 has.

Unless of course there would be a way for the config file to override
the autodetection either way, in which case I withdraw my objection.
