Title: lirc: added support for RaspberryPi GPIO

This branch adds lirc capability for a simple receiver/blaster connected to the gpio pins (Details described here: http://aron.ws/projects/lirc_rpi/). Because bcm2708 core support can't be found in the mainline kernel, my patch won't be applied there, but got a promise that when it does it will be applied.

For people who use the RPi for multimedia purposes this adds cheap IR capabilities.
