    x86: enable console keyboard
    
    The kernel support necessary to use a console keyboard was not built on
    x86, affecting real and virtual machines alike. The console keyboard
    would function properly in GRUB, but would not work at all once Linux
    booted. It appeared that the console was intended to work because
    console video appeared on the display, including prompts to enter
    failsafe or select the debug log level from the keyboard, and the prompt
    to "Press Enter to activate this console", but there was no way to
    provide input to it. All keystrokes were ignored.
    
    This enables several kernel configuration options to enable HID and USB
    HID support (CONFIG_HID, CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT, CONFIG_HID_GENERIC, and
    CONFIG_USB_HID), making the keyboard functional. For alignment with
    armsr, CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is also added, although not strictly necessary
    for keyboard support. Note that this change also causes
    CONFIG_HID_HYPERV_MOUSE to be enabled for x86/64 and x86/generic: it was
    already set in these subarchitectures' kernel configurations, but was
    ineffective due to CONFIG_HID being absent.
    
    The omission of keyboard support on x86 may not have been widely noticed
    because USB HID is not used on production OpenWrt x86 machines such as
    pc-engines,apu2 which only have a serial console, or with the default
    x86 configuration used by scripts/qemustart, which uses -nographic and
    does not configure a virtual physical console but instead uses a serial
    console.
    
    This configuration change results in, for x86_64, +40kB in kernel.bin
    and just over +40kB in gzip-compressed "combined" images. This should
    not be a problem for the non-storage-constrained x86 target.
    
    Until 2a86425de107, CONFIG_HID, CONFIG_USB_HID, and CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV
    were set in the target-level kernel configuration, and
    CONFIG_HID_GENERIC was set at the subtarget level. These are
    reintroduced strictly at the subtarget level by request. This applies to
    the 64, generic, and legacy subtargets, omitting geode.
