	Bummer ! That's what happen when you backport 2.5.X patches to
2.4.X without paying enough attention. Your patch is not 100% correct,
but I'll add it in my queue for 2.4.22.
	Note that the static initialisation code of IrDA in 2.4.X is
half broken, so don't be surprise if things don't work 100% or you
have weird crashes. This is one of the thing that was fixed in 2.5.X.
	Good luck...
