[kbd] Please accept this patch to make Norwegian kb-layout actually match the markings on most Norwegian keyboards.

[Hagbard Celine]

I sent this about two weeks ago, but it did not seem to get
trough(according to the list archive page). So I'm trying again after
subscribing to the list.

Hi. this has bothered me since my firs Linux install in the kernel 2.x
days. None of the Norwegian KB-layouts for console has matched any
keyboard I've ever seen.

A few years ago I got fed up, and made my own layout. This layout has
been used on about 10 different keyboard for more than 3 years, and
Ive yet to find any key not matching the actual markings on the keys.

Following is a patch against kbd-2.0.4, thanks:
