AFAIK, XFree86 has appropriate LK201 > keymaps -- see "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/*/digital/*". Because the original code does not deliver LK201 keycodes - LK201 keycodes are in the range 0x55 - 0xfb, but the kernel to my knowledge accepts only keycodes in the range 0x01 - 0x7f, so the original code already did a remapping of the LK201 raw codes (it delivered the key numbers from the top left to the downmost right keys, i.e. F1=1, F2=2, F3=3 etc.). This means that the XFree LK201 mapping did not work, and if we have to remap keycodes anyway into the range 0x01-0x7f, using a PC-compatible keymap seemed the best solution to me.
