  Log:
  This is a driver for "homebrew" type serial LIRC reveivers as
  described here:
  
          http://lirc.org/receivers.html
  
  It overrides the `normal' uart(4) driver, if you have that driver
  already loaded or statically in your kernel (like it is in GENERIC)
  then you need to load uartlirc.ko from loader.conf(5) (or manually
  via the loader prompt) for the override to work.  The driver provides
  a /dev/lircX node for each serial port in addition to the normal
  tty nodes /dev/cuauX etc, so you can still use other serial ports
  normally should you have more than one.
  
  Note: it only supports PCI/motherboard serial ports not ones connected
  via USB, for USB you can use mceusb hardware supported via webcamd,
  or FTDI hardware supported by comms/lirc natively via libftdi, see:
  
          http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
  
  and the comms/lirc port's pkg-message.
