No, this is not good, due to several reasons:

- it lacks an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ir_raw_lirc_available);
- if lirc module is not compiled, the RC core will have a missed
  symbol.

The right thing to do is to have a var inside the RC core and a
way for LIRC to tell the core that it was loaded.

I would prefer to not export a var. So, perhaps this could be
done by calling some function.

Anyway, the way the patch is, it will break compilation, depending
on the config options.

Mauro
