This patch adds an EV_IR bit to allow input drivers to let userspace
know that the hardware is an infrared remote control transceiver.
No dev->irbit is defined yet but I plan to add that later (which would
be used to indicate whether the hardware supports RX, TX, etc).
If the patch is accepted I'll send followup patches adding the
appropriate input_set_capability call to the relevant drivers.
