Thinking more about it, what about the following:

keyboard numlock trigger -> input numlock led -> input numlock trigger -> input keyboard led

Userland applications which want to redirect leds for (a priori) all
keyboards change the trigger used by the input numlock led. Userland
applications which want to redirect leds for a particular keyboard can
change the trigger user by the particular input keyboard led.
