This code is not going to get merged as is. It's just a starting point
to get a discussion started about designing an IR subsystem. I expect
the final design will look a lot different.
I'm trying to demonstrate that IR is an input device and that it can
be supported by the Linux input subsystem without the need to create a
special IR device.
