Of course no. We will need a single program (script etc.) for all
devices. And we will need a database of the known remotes (scan and key

Fortunately we don't need the keymaps in the kernel.
For certain uses we may (and may not) need to have one keymap built-in,
perhaps something similar to the embedded initrd.
