+
+// Steps:
+// 1. Open the /dev/lircN device for rc-loopback (given on command line)
+// 2. Attach bpf_lirc_mode2 program which decodes some IR.
+// 3. Send some IR to the same IR device; since it is loopback, this will
+//    end up in the bpf program
+// 4. bpf program should decode IR and report keycode
+// 5. We can read keycode from same /dev/lirc device
