I disagree here. libxkbcommon provides X interface while applications
might want to access evdev nodes directly. If anything, parts of
ir-utils dealing with keymap selection should be moved into udev. Maybe
we should split utilities that select protocol from the keymap setting
and use udev keymap utilities to do the task.
