I did something very similar (external controller board with attached
key matrix) with GTK1.2 lately.

My approach was to inject the key events by using the XTest extension
after decoding the matrix to a key code. That way any application sees
the events the same way if focused.

btw. translating interrupts with the help of xkb sounds very
interesting...
