Fine with me -- I'm glad the v4l-dvb development repositories hosted
on both linuxtv.org and kernellabs.com are backwards compatible with
recent kernels... :-)

I think all the crucial fixes (except for the pvrusb2 16k firmware
patch) are all merged into 2.6.31.y as of now... So, now we can focus
on new driver support for 2.6.32 :-)

Cheers,

Mike
