[pvrusb2] New driver snapshot: pvrusb2-mci-20071116

[Mike Isely]

A new pvrusb2 snapshot is available.  THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT UPDATE.

Feature-wise the driver looks the same, but a lot has changed under the 
hood.  The goal here was to improve the capture stability.  I think I've 
succeeded - I can no longer cause the video to corrupt.  In addition, a 
stress test written by Hans Verkuil for ivtv which previously failed on 
this driver now works.  I've been working on these changes for a while.  
I hope you all like the results.

I am not going to print the summary of changes here - it's too lengthy.  
Instead I invite you to see for youself by looking here:

Please let me know if you see any new problems with this snapshot.  
Being that there are a large number of changes, the risk for breakage is 
considerably higher this time.  But I do believe this is an overall 
improvement; I've been beating on the driver here and it's time for 
others to play.  Please try it out.

I have been testing with vanilla kernel version 2.6.22.10.  I did verify 
successful compilation of the driver all the way back to 2.6.12 (as 
usual) but I have NOT tested any of those versions.  I also verified 
correct compilation under 2.6.23.x.  I have no reason to suspect there 
might be problems in other kernels, but one never knows...
