Hello Colin,

Sorry, I was away for a week. I've tried the patched appleir module in
your PPA and it works on my macbook pro 4,1.

Cheers,
Alex

The appleir driver does not work on the most recent MacBook Pro. The device is now under a new id:

Bus 005 Device 024: ID 05ac:8242 Apple Computer, Inc. 
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass         0 
  bDeviceProtocol         0 
  bMaxPacketSize0         8
  idVendor           0x05ac Apple Computer, Inc.
  idProduct          0x8242 
  bcdDevice            0.16
  iManufacturer           1 Apple Computer, Inc.
  iProduct                2 IR Receiver
  iSerial                 0 
  bNumConfigurations      1


Compiling the module with USB_DEVICE_ID_APPLE_ID set to 0x8242 makes the module work, as long as it is loaded before usbhid.
