As Ken mentioned, you'd have to have a default keymap for single-user 
mode, at least.  For any others, it would be nice to have a userland 
utility to add them as an alternate keymap, with perhaps an ioctl() to 
switch between the "system" keymap and the alternate.  Conceivably you 
might want to store multiple alternates, and allocate kernel memory only 
when you needed to...

Just a thought.
