Oh, I see. But since you're not adding any timer to the driver code itself
I do not consider the use of plain ir_keydown to be ugly at all (contrary
to what your comment indicated).

Maybe a keyup hardware event is generated (handled via ir_keyup, good),
maybe it isnt't (handled via ir-core timeout which calls ir_keyup
eventually, good).
