Can you help me understand why lirc_pvr150/lirc_zilog is not in the
mainline lirc?  I've gotten information on these from you before, and
I've downloaded them and fooled around a little, but really digging in
is still down a ways on my things-to-do list.  Gentoo has has lirc at
0.8.4 for a long time, and recently moved to 0.8.5.  The lirc_pvr150
patch I saw was against some 0.8.5 version, and I've never actually seen
lirc_zilog, only heard about it.  At least one reference was on lkml, so
it sounds as if there has been at least one attempt to get lirc into the
mainline kernel.

Thanks,
Dale
