lirc_dev has lots of functionality which is unused and the code isn't exactly
up-to-date with current kernel practices. This patchset removes the unused bits
and also simplifies the locking by moving lirc_dev over to only use
per-device mutexes rather than a big lirc lock in addition to per-device locks.
I think this is about as much as can be done right now before lirc_zilog is
either removed or ported to rc-core.
