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

__devinit is NOP with hot-plug.

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.
