ir-core: add imon device driver

The following series adds a new device driver for the SoundGraph iMON and Antec Veris IR/display devices commonly found in many home theater pc cases and as after-market case additions.

This driver was previously submitted as a pure input layer driver, but I was convinced to port it to the new ir-core infrastructure, so this patch is against http://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/ir.git.

With only some minor modifications to ir-core (making an already exported function public) and reasonably little porting driver-side, I've managed to finish at least the initial conversion. There's still a local key release timer in use in the driver that needs to be converted to use ir-core's keyup timer, and I'm not using ir_keydown due to some serious quirks in the way the imon hardware decodes IR signals (I need to do my own key release detection, as there are three different ways a key release is identified even on the exact same device...), but it does use all the ir-core keymap loading and parsing code, ir_input_dev, ir_dev_props, etc.

Something I wasn't too sure about... Where exactly should an IR-only device driver live in the tree? I've put it at drivers/media/IR/imon.c for the moment, but it might make sense to have a drivers/media/IR/hardware/ directory to drop things like this and the forthcoming lirc_mceusb port into, rather than intermingling with the core bits.

The most important part: I've tested this out w/actual imon hardware, and it even works. :)
