Heh, yeah, hardware failure is always fun when you're trying really
hard to get something done. :)

As for the building your own kernel thing... I've been doing my work
mainly on a pair of x86_64 systems, one a ThinkPad T61 running Fedora
13, and the other an HP xw4400 workstation running RHEL6. In both
cases, I copied a distro kernel's, config file out of /boot/, and then
ran make oldconfig over it and build straight from what's in my tree,
which works well enough on both setups.

No rush yet, we've got a while before the merge window still.
Christoph (Bartelmus) helped me out with a bunch of ioctl
documentation this weekend, so I've got that to add to the tree, then
I think I'll be prepared to resubmit the lirc bits. I'll shoot for
doing that next weekend, and hopefully, that'll give you a chance to
try 'em out before then and provide any necessary feedback/fixes/etc.
(Not that we can't also just fix things up as needed post-merge). I'm
still up in the air as to what I should work on next... So many lirc
drivers left to port still... Maybe zilog, maybe streamzap... Maybe
the MCE IR keyboard...
