I guess lkml would NAK patches adding infrastructure only bits but we will probably for the next patchset concentrate on a few lirc drivers.

I'm mainly concerned with lirc_dev, lirc_i2c (for > Rx only use of the zilog at 0x71), lirc_zilog, and lirc_mceusb2.

Jarod has at least mce usb and imon devices. That are probably the devices we'll concentrate on the next submission. > lirc_dev and the API header would be my first priority, if you need > help.
