Keymap tables for Japanese type7 keyboard should be added.
Since a few keys cannot share keysyms between Japanese type6
and Japanese type7, keymap tables for Japanese type7 keyboard
should be newly added on Xorg and Xsun. It's enough to prepare
key tables for X server because these keys are used only on
Xserver. Japanese type7 is compatible with Japanese 109 USB
keyboard (this is a standard keyboard in the Japanese PC market)
so that these keymap tables can also be shared between them.
After suggested fix is integrated, Japanese type7 is
the default on Xorg and Xsun. Xorg is the defaul xserver on X86
so that most of user will use Japanese type7(=Japanese 109) keyboard.
Xsun is the defaul xserver on sparc so that Japanese type7
keyboard is not so used at this time. However, it will be needed soon
with new hardware support. Also it will be useful for x86 Xsun user.
The following shows how to switch these keyboard.
Japanese type6 Japanese type7
Japanese 106 USB
------------------------------------------------
Xorg Modify xorg.conf Default
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "sun_type6_jp_usb"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp"
Xsun Modify Default

It is better that both keyboards are automatically
configured. However, it seems that it's impossible
because both keyboards shows same country ID (15) with
same type (6).
