You haven't specify target I guess..
bitbake -c savedefconfig virtual/kernel

copy htcuniversal file to match MACHINE (so htcdream) and rebuild
keymaps recipe, don't know if htcuniversal is using same layout..

Yes there definetely are some man and doc pages as this is not really
OE or embedded specific and also there is google you know.. :).

yes 
1) add file
2) bump PR,
3) rebuild
4) test it on device,
5) update it on device if it's not 100% correct and then sync keymap-2.6.map 
with htcdream in OE
6) send patch to OE ML

And I cannot run commands (git log even) in your checkout so I don't know it too :).

Yes this is in initscripts-shr which are used only when you're building
SHR and shr-images, if you're still playing with fso- or default
console- iamges then IIRC normal initscript recipe is used and you have
to apply similar fix there..
