The lirc userspace needs all the current ioctls defined, and we need to
put the header files in places out-of-tree and/or staging lirc drivers
(which I plan to prep soon) can easily build with. I've actually tested this
in a tree w/all the lirc drivers queued up to be submitted for staging. I'm
also reasonably sure that Andy Walls is going to need most of the ioctls
anyway for his cx23888 IR driver work.

New code should not rely on the big kernel lock,
so use the unlocked_ioctl file operation in lirc.

This should do the trick. Completely untested beyond compiling, but its
not exactly a complicated fix, and in practice, I'm not aware of anyone
ever actually tripping that locking bug, so there's zero functional change
in typical use here.
