We/I should either make the vconsole.conf cmdline parsing script a generator and
be moved out of the cmdline hook; or more likely remove the deprecated,
following kernel command line parameters, when using systemd:

- KEYTABLE
- SYSFONT
- CONTRANS
- UNIMAP
- KEYMAP
- FONT
- FONT_MAP
- FONT_UNIMAP
- UNICODE
- EXT_KEYMAP
- LANG
- LC_ALL

and only accept vconsole.* and locale.* parameters, which are handled by systemd
out of the box.
