Yes.
So, in unicode_start:
dumpkeys > somewhere
in unicode_stop:
loadkeys somewhere
A distributor can invent a suitable somewhere, perhaps
$HOME/.kbd/.keymap_sv
or so.
There are more problems. The kernel console state is very
complicated, and some aspects are write-only (by sending
some escape sequence). If you know the state, you can switch
to a different state and come back. If you do not know
it is not quite possible to save, change, restore.
