Re: how to get back from linux_keycodes?

Two different things to consider here: linux keycodes and i386 keymap.
Both have the potential to screw up ;-)
Before playing with these things, it is best to get some remote (ssh,
telnet or other) connection working, and manipulate things from there.

No; this setting is not kept over reboots. You either have to apply it
manually after every boot (bad); add some script (better) or add it to
/etc/sysctl.conf (best). So, to get back to ADB keycodes, just reboot.

Not necessary, as explained above. In general, nothing under /proc
survives a reboot. That's just a virtual filesystem exposing some kernel
configuration and data structures.
The keymap setting might be different: if you changed that with the
apropriate tools, its setting sticks ;-)
You'll have to experiment a bit to re-change this...
