[PATCH] (0/16) intro to IRDA patches for 2.6.0-test6

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>]

These patches are a replacement for the moderate one chunk I sent out yesterday.
They continue in the same vein of revising how IRDA devices are allocated.
The new thing is the introduction of alloc_irdadev and changing over the places
I used alloc_netdev to that.

Mostly they are trivial, but smsc-ircc2 got changed to get rid of check_region
usage as well.

David, please apply after Jean gives his approval.
