Hi Mario, I don't think there are negative side effects to this; I am
matching specifically this:

contains_ncase="saa7134 ir"

which is the infrared function of the chipset, which is bound to make
LIRC fail if we don't do this.

If people install lirc, I would have this added automatically to the
blacklist. These days there are a few new easy configuration tools for
remotes based on lircs so people with legacy HW will run into this
problem.

The use of blacklisting stuff from HAL has been suggested by laga and is
used in other cases as well.

Thanks,
Ari
