About 2:  If at all, there only needs to be a decision about pulse/space
to scancode converter configuration.  In contrast, scancode to keycode
converter configuration is already solved; the interface is
EVIOCSKEYCODE.  If you find the EVIOCSKEYCODE interface lacking, extend
it or submit an alternative --- but this does not affect LIRC and
whether to merge it in any way.

PS:  Drop your "specific vs. generic tools" terminology already.  Your
configfs based proposal requires "specific" tools as well, it's just
that they can be implemented in bash, among else.
