As I understand the bb loadkmap needs a binary dump of the keymap.
There was a patch that made kbd output those binary dumps. I think the
patch went in upstream. (see

I converted a bunch of the keymaps some time ago. They are available here:

No, I think you only need the binary dump of the keymaps.
