#15956: KDL is unusable when current keymap was replaced by Keymap Switcher

---------------------------+-----------------------------
When globally switching the system keymap to a language other than English
(e.g. Russian or Hebrew), and the system crashes into KDL, keyboard
doesn't print any characters. Probably because the keys send scancodes of
a language which is not supported in KDL. Slashes, spaces etc. work as
usual.
The KDL is totally useless in this case. The only way to continue is to
literally pull the plug.
Possible solution: replace the current keymap with US_International system
keymap upon entering into KDL regardless of what was chosen before.
