And I've just confirmed that with the exception of this Ubuntu patch, all calls to ioctl(..., KDGKBMODE) in the kbd source are using int*, not long*. So this is a bug in that patch, which surprisingly didn't bite us on x86_64 previously but definitely means keymap setting will be heavily dependent on memory initialization.

Results from the test program might still be interesting in case there's another bug here, but I've at least identified /a/ bug that needs fixing.
