Wow! Lots of people being c/c here! Since all pertinent guys are at
lkml, I've just removed all those spam, keeping copied just the lists,
and Adrian, who warned me about it.

What you say is quite correct.
However, my card is not known by the driver, and `card=3' has been working
for me all the while, with no problems at all. In any case, removing
`disable_ir=1' from the insmod options hides the problem for me. By the way,
that option was there since in an an earlier -rc, loading the driver without
it would cause an oops.
The option disable_ir is, in fact, a workaround. If this is not needed
anymore, this is a progress ;) Anyway, having an OOPS is really bad. We
should go further to avoid oops on it.
IR on some saa7134 cards are really a trouble. Sometimes, it just
generates lots of weird events, since you are gathering a generic io
port (GPIO) from hardware to generate keypressing. Using the wrong port
may generate troubles at the system, by sending wrong events to input.
With a wrong card, if somebody fixed the IR, it may broke for your
board.
