Log:
   Change kern.evdev.rcpt_mask to 12 by default
Change kern.evdev.rcpt_mask from 3 to 12 by default. This makes us
much more evdev-friendly, and will prevent everyone using xorg and
wayland with evdev devices (the default) from needing to change this
locally.
   powerpc32 still uses the old value for the keyboard part, becaues
the adb keyboard driver used there is not evdev compatible.

This affects *all* powerpc, not just powerpc32.  For just powerpc32,
you should have:

#if defined(__powerpc__) && !defined(__powerpc64__)

Ok, I wasn't aware of that, I'll fix it.


But I'm curious, why not attach to sysmouse(4) and kbdmux(4)?  What
breakage does that cause?  I could maybe see not attaching to
sysmouse(4) by default, if the protocol isn't expressive enough, but
kbdmux(4) should be sufficient.

Sysmouse hides features from evdev, so it's better to let xorg or wayland access the device directly.

If both are enabled, you'll get double events, meaning double key presses when using USB devices: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24370#538523
