http://bytesex.org/snapshot/input-20031008.tar.gz contains a "list"
program to enumerate input devices. If the driver would provide
useful info for EVIOCGID it could be used to find IR remote controls
among other input devices. At the moment you have to grep the name
for "DVB".

I think if you want to suppress IR events from reaching your
terminal you will have to run a program which opens the
IR input device and calls EVIOCGRAB on it. AFAIK there is no
kernel infrastructure for filtering/routing input events.

See linux/input.h for ioctl definitions.
