My keymap branch carries fixes for that now:
https://www.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/log/?h=work/xkbcommon

For your keycodemapdb patches I'd suggest to cherry-pick at least the
"ui: move qemu_input_linux_to_qcode()" patch.

Then have sdl + gtk generate linux evdev codes using keycodemapdb, map
that to qcodes using qemu_input_linux_to_qcode(), submit qcodes to the
qemu input layer.

cheers,
