FWIW users of VNC are much better off not setting any keymap at all
in QEMU, and then using a client (such as GTK-VNC) that supports the
raw scancode extension. This takes QEMU out of the key remapping
business entirely, so that everything "just works" with no extra
configuration required in QEMU. This is what SPICE does by default
too.
