AFAIK the Speakup keymap is just for remapping keys to Speakup
functions.  It's a binary format, not related to dumpkeys etc.  You need
a special program to compile a textual keymap into something that can be
loaded into /sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap.  I may have source for
that lying around here somewhere.  This is "here there be dragons"
territory.  I think the only specification of the format is in the
source code.
