If all goes well, with Jarrod's change, you should be able to test the
hdpvr module with the ir-kbd-i2c module and test IR Rx.

Strictly speaking, lirc_zilog needs some rework to use the kernel

surprised if it doesn't.

I might get to working on lirc_zilog tonight, but otherwise not until
this weekend.
