The build system doesn't get refreshed automatically after this
change, so it's still trying to generate virkeycodetable_rfb.h
and failing because the current version of keymap-gen doesn't know
about it.

It should work properly again after running 'git clean -xdf'; there
might be a way to trigger automatic build system refresh but it
didn't look like something worth spending too much time on.

Yeah, I think we should try to avoid diverging from whatever
naming convention keycodemapdb has adopted. The couple of tweaks
that I've made should be enough to ensure existing users keep on
working even after the rename.
