Actually, if it's going to finally play nice with the input subsystem, 
that would probably address the primary issue why Carsten steered away 
from LIRC in the first place.

I should search the kernel to see if there is an -EOUTOFLUCK.  If not, 
somebody should post a patch to add it :-)

My big complaint about LIRC is that it is a major PITA to compile its 
out-of-tree kernel modules.  I'm always fighting with its brain-dead 
build system.  To finally have that in the kernel - with that cruft gone 
- is great.
