Someone may favor wiki style, then again someone graces the source doc style.
What is important, none of them is a redundant, that is, they complement each other.

You can test yourself with VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/EFI/Firmware/OvmfPkg/README

With x64 OVMF (QEMU/KVM UEFI)
'kbdmap[.c32] <kbd_layout>.ktl'
has no effect on changing the keyboard layout.
