Technically, it is not hard to port this solution to the other
drivers, but the issue is that we don't have all those IR's to know
what is the complete scancode that each key produces. So, the hardest
part is to find a way for doing it without causing regressions, and to
find a group of people that will help testing the new way.

We don't want to "port it" to other drivers. We need to have a common
module which does all RCx decoding. The individual drivers should be as
simple as possible, something that I outlined in a previous mail.
