Hmm, but they don't work on sparc64.  How X.Org ever works then?
I remember installing it on my sparc64 laptop...

: # uname -p
: sparc64
: # cat a.c
: #include <sys/kbio.h>
: #include <sys/ioctl.h>
: #include <err.h>
: #include <stdio.h>
: #include <stdlib.h>
: 
: int
: main(void)
: {
:         int mode;
: 
:         mode = K_CODE;
:         if (ioctl(0, KDSKBMODE, mode) == -1)
:                 err(1, "ioctl(KDSKBMODE)");
: 
:         if (ioctl(0, KDGKBMODE, &mode) == -1)
:                 err(1, "ioctl(KDGKBMODE)");
:         printf("current mode = %d, should be %d\n", mode, K_CODE);
: 
:         exit (0);
: }
: # ./a < /dev/vkbdctl0
: current mode = 0, should be 2
: #
