There are two very basic things that we need to reach consensus on first.

1) Unification with mouse/keyboard in evdev - put IR on equal footing.
2) Specific tools (xmodmap, setkeycodes, etc or the LIRC ones) or
generic tools (ls, mkdir, echo) for configuration

I think we can do this gradually:
1. Merging the lirc drivers. The only stable thing needed is lirc
  interface.

Doing that locks in a user space API that needs to be supported
forever. We need to think this API through before locking it in.

2. Changing IR input layer interface ("media" drivers and adding to lirc
  drivers).
