Keyboard input from MacOS to Redhat via X11 forwarding produces erroneous text in QEMU #251

When ssh'ing into a Redhat machine from a Mac and running Basekernel, text forwarded from the keyboard to QEMU is mapped incorrectly. This is because QEMU notices it is running on Linux and expects the raw input to have the keyboard mapping of a PC. However, the keyboard mapping for Mac is different from that of a PC.

Obscure setup, but fixed up in #253
