Correct, though I'll be doing another kernel very soon, after which IR on
the HD-PVR should be working pretty close to as well as it can (receive and
transmit) and IR on the HVR-1950 should finally be enabled and functional
in both directions as well. As for the streamzap, I guess I'll have to dig
out my own streamzap hardware and see if I can reproduce the issue.

One of these days, I'll finish mce keyboard support, nuvoton ir power-on
and write a new redrat3 driver... Too many toys, not enough time...
