This patch enables support for the Sigmatel's STIR421x IrDA chip.
Once patched with Sigmatel's firmware, this chip "almost" follows the
USB-IrDA spec. Thus this patch is against irda-usb.[ch].
The code has been tested by Nick Fedchik on an STIR4210 chipset based
dongle.

This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code.
The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using
IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB.
The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB
dongle. It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error
code, and after a while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect"
error code. Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after
receiving the first error one, we might enter an endless loop.
When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting
so that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the
dongle has juts been unplugged.
Tested against 2.6.16-rc2.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
