So the plan is to have two ways of using IR in the future which are  
incompatible to each other, the feature-set of one being a subset of the  
other?

When designing the key mapping in the kernel you should be aware that  
there are remotes out there that send a sequence of scan codes for some  
buttons, e.g.
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/pioneer/CU-VSX159
