I haven't had the time to try the new patch yet... Probably tonight.

I agree with this point... Linus will probably not accept any
new feature, and the new IrComm driver is truely a change of API
(although it's *almost* backward compatible).
New/fixed device drivers have better acceptance chances. Making
a separate 2.2.X patch just for the device drivers (linux/drivers/net/irda),
and testing it means more work. Will that have any advantage?
The possibility of having kernel version 2.4 out in a couple
of months has two aspects. The first is that there isn't anything
urgent about getting things into 2.2 (but then it may take longer).
The other is that everything planned for the next stable kernel
has to be ready and there isn't much time.
What's left on the kernel-side todo list? (bug fixes, new features,
cleanup) that's planned for kernel 2.4?
