I'm not sure I understand this point. When does loadkeys
get used in the kernel compile stage if you are using the
default keymap file. defkeymap.c is distributed with the
stock kernel so doesn't need to be generated from
defkeymap.map.
What the patch does fix is the condition I mentioned
earlier. When the speakup keymap is selected and the user
changes his mind in make menuconfig or whatever. At this
point, the kernel doesn't know to regenerate defkeymap.c
from the original keymap file. Using two completely
different keymap sources should solve this but let me know
if I'm wrong.
