Not in my context.

Currently, a map can only do a stateless transposition. It cannot 
implement a cell-phone like keyboard, e.g. one press on the key 
yields a "1" input event, two presses yield a "a", three a "b", 
four a "c".

One can argue that you can do this in user-space, but for one of 
my devices (not for which this patch is) the 
kernel-implementation of this allows me to switch to vc1 
(framebuffer console) and log in and issue commands via the 
cell-phone like keyboard.
