This is a copy of what I sent to Bob:

I think I was going down the wrong path on the IR Remote. What I 
originally noticed is that the driver in windows is polling the GPIO 
register. I figured that must be how it reads the bits coming in. In the 
saa7134 code in the saa7134-ir.c (or was it saa7134-i2c.c) you see that 
is supports polling. I went down that route but it wasn't making any 
sense. So I went back and studied the logs a bit harder and now I see 
that it sometimes reads from a device through the I2C port. I don't have 
my notes with me at work so I can't tell you the address, but I see it 
reads from an I2C device and gets a series of 0xFF data followed by 0x10 
and then 0xFF again. This didn't at first seem helpful because I was 
pressing two different keys, but later in the log I found an instance of 
0xFF, 0x11, 0xFF. So maybe it does mean something.

It is quite possible that the unknown part on the board, the KS007 part 
is a microcontroller with code that handles the IR. I am going to try to 
capture more tonight with my bus analyzer and push more buttons on the 
remote than two.
