Sorry for the `late' reply...

If there is indeed a lirc driver for this providing all the functionality why would one ever want to have any appleir.patch in the future? I meant to pave the way for appleir to go in, but now I don't see a need for it as an in-kernel driver anymore. So I am fine with reverting the blacklist entry... and I am CC'ing this to Nicolas as I think the appleir.patch should be removed from the mactel svn for future releases.
