vt-utf8 isn't installed into /etc/terminfo/ currently, so we'd have to fix
that. then i could make the default based on USE=unicode.
as for the generic ttyS0/ttyS1 defaults, 115200 is just as easy as 9600 to
change, so np updating that. for all the system-specific configs though (we
have a bunch of arch/system ones), i'd prefer to leave those alone as they
tend to be tailored to common board-specific behavior.
