Or maybe tonight. Both transmit and receive are working perfectly on my
own hdpvr now, and I've pushed the bits for this into my git tree. I'm
also about to add them all to a new Fedora 11 2.6.30.x kernel build, as
well as tack them onto rawhide (current Fedora 12 devel tree).

That part was actually only minimally helpful, most of the legwork was
in fixing the lirc_zilog driver to make irsend happy, but sagetv might
not be using lirc at all.
