Yes, the changes are reasonably independent although one shouldn't use 
the updated keymaps without the corresponding keymap/scancode handling 
because duplicate keysyms cause problems with the current code.

Those keysyms are indeed present in my patch; the iso-level3-switch 
change is already part of the xen code.

That's a familiar looking bug report.   The problem described there is 
the problem with duplicate keysyms in the keymap which the original code 
completely failed to address.
I'll try to assemble a similar patch to this one and send it up to 
qemu-devel.
