IrDA patches for 2.5.X

IrDA patches for 2.5.X

[Jean Tourrilhes]

	Hi Jeff,

	Here are a bunch of patches to push to 2.5.X alongside the
patches from Martin. As you can see, many trivial fixes to the core,
and some more driver work. I'm quite pleased that VIA contributed a
driver for their hardware.
	Patches tested on 2.5.74, been a few weeks on my web page
without anybody complaining.

	Thanks in advance...

	Jean

Yeah, I give Via a huge kudos for stepping up their open source code.  I 
worked with Joseph Chan (who submitted the IrDA driver) on the Via RNG 
support, and Via has been releasing other drivers as well (particularly 
a _lot_ of XFree code).

All patches except for the Via driver applied.
