As per my previous e-mail (on l-k), built-in irda causes an infinite loop during bootup (ie, a lockup) by double-registering the same notifier. This happens because irda_proto_init is both called by init/main.c and set as a module_init() function which is then mapped to __initcall when built non-modular. So the notifier chain becomes looped as per the previous e-mail. The fix is to remove one of these, for my system I'm moving the module_init inside the #ifdef MODULE, someone else can choose what's best for the kernel at large...
