Ahh.. overloading a failure code. OK, I can deal with that...

On my doesn't-complain -rc2-mm1 kernel:
% lsmod | grep -i ir
irnet 21409 0
ppp_generic 22177 1 irnet
irtty_sir 8321 0
sir_dev 14473 1 irtty_sir
ircomm_tty 35345 0
ircomm 20425 1 ircomm_tty
irda 188973 5 irnet,irtty_sir,sir_dev,ircomm_tty,ircomm
crc_ccitt 2817 1 irda
My guess is that irda fails to insmod because of the sysctl errors, so when
the other ir* modules try to load, they come up empty on symbols that irda
provides.
