[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#390907: lirc-modules-source: Does not compile with Linux 2.6.18

[Shaun Jackman]

Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.8.0-7
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

In Linux 2.6.18, the file linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h is gone. Also
missing are the functions devfs_remove and devfs_mk_cdev.

Cheers,
Shaun
