The X server puts the keyboard in "raw" mode and maps them itself.

I'm not sure if it will be any faster.  It might be faster, since the
interrupt handler now reads as much as it can from the zs chip on each
interrupt (so there may be multiple characters per interrupt). 

It may also be slower, because there is some more overhead in the
mechanism used to actually touch the zs chip.  (This overhead could
be fixed by allowing inline routines in place of function pointers.)
