The kernel IR decoders support the most widely used IR protocols, but there
are many protocols which are not supported[1]. For example, the
lirc-remotes[2] repo has over 2700 remotes, many of which are not supported
by rc-core. There is a "long tail" of unsupported IR protocols.

IR encoding is done in such a way that some simple circuit can decode it;
therefore, bpf is ideal.

In order to support all these protocols, here we have bpf based IR decoding.
The idea is that user-space can define a decoder in bpf, attach it to
the rc device through the lirc chardev.

Separate work is underway to extend ir-keytable to have an extensive library
of bpf-based decoders, and a much expanded library of rc keymaps.

Another future application would be to compile IRP[3] to a IR BPF program, and
so support virtually every remote without having to write a decoder for each.

Thanks,

Sean Young

Changes since v1:
 - Code review comments from Y Song <ys114321@gmail.com> and
   Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
 - Re-wrote sample bpf to be selftest
 - Renamed RAWIR_DECODER -> RAWIR_EVENT (Kconfig, context, bpf prog type)
 - Rebase on bpf-next
 - Introduced bpf_rawir_event context structure with simpler access checking
