Data point: the convention has changed in 4.0, and it isn't well-documented.

It's:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel"    "jp106"
        Option      "XkbLayout"   "jp"
EndSection

(everything that used to be in the Keyboard and Mouse sections now goes
into their respective InputDevice section, using the Option convention)
