Correction: The 0.8.6 module source linked above does compile, but it
does *not* work with 0.8.3 userspace:

Mar 18 23:19:21 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: lircd(userspace) ready
Mar 18 23:19:31 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: accepted new client on
/dev/lircd
Mar 18 23:19:31 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: could not get hardware
features
Mar 18 23:19:31 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: this device driver does not
support the new LIRC interface
Mar 18 23:19:31 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: make sure you use a current
version of the driver
Mar 18 23:19:31 gimli lircd-0.8.3[22810]: caught signal

End result, of course, is that lirc remains unusable in squeeze.
