        I don't have anything against this patch, as it looks clean
and straightforward. Stephen might have something to say. I'm way
behind, so it may take a while before I test that.
        I'm just curious about the overhead of adding a specific slab
for IrDA sockets. Most users never create any (using IrCOMM), or
maximum one (using Obex), so it's not like it will get a lot of use
(except here, of course).

        Thanks, and have fun...
