Here I made it work.  My kernel keymap snippet:

----- kernel keymap begin -----
control keycode 105 = U+0117 # <C-left>
control keycode 106 = U+0118 # <C-right>
control keycode 103 = U+0119 # <C-up>
control keycode 108 = U+011A # <C-down>
----- kernel keymap end -----

My emacs keymap snippet:

----- emacs keymap begin -----
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u0117] [C-left])
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u0118] [C-right])
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u0119] [C-up])
(define-key input-decode-map [?\u011A] [C-down])
----- emacs keymap end -----

Notice that it is not necessary to explicit bind each emacs
control-arrow sequence to the respective motion function because it is
already done by default.

Hope it helps.
