While IrDA support is in userland at the moment (comms/birda port),
someone is working on a netgraph interface for IrDA.  I'm under the
impression that this will include FIR device drivers; but since it's
also based on birda, it will likely use sio for SIR devices.  (Although
the person(s) doing the ng work should probably speak up and correct me
now....)
