The removal of the existing keymaps from kernel depends on having an application to be called from udev to load the proper keymaps when a device is probed.
After having it for a while, we should deprecate the in-kernel keymaps and move them to userspace.
I also think that it is important to remove the 7 bits limitation from all drivers and re-generate the keymaps, since they'll change after it.
cheers, Mauro.
