I'd never actually heard of this before. Googling it seems to be a
pretty old thing, it's plausible that whatever was handling it just
decided to deprecate it, I'm not sure.

`man dracut.cmdline` notes it as deprecated and replaced by
`vconsole.keymap`, so you could try using that instead.

You can also set it permanently in /etc/vconsole.conf; there's a
"KEYMAP" line there. After changing it there you would also need to
regenerate the initramfs with `dracut -f` in order for the same layout
to be used in the initramfs phase of boot (e.g. when entering
passphrase to decrypt the system partition, if encrypted).
