This is an IrDA specific issue, and it has to be fixed in an IrDA specific way. My patches work with my irda-usb and mcs7780 dongles. If they dont for you, then we should dump the kernel stack when we're hitting the problem of not having reserved enough headroom for the irda cb. Evgeniy's proposal could also be another solution.
