And this technically wasn't even the fault of something I had done.  
The USB core behavior had changed in a way that broke the driver.  I've 
read on lkml that the pvrusb2 driver wasn't the only thing burned by the 
USB change.  If anything, I should have (1) listened better when other 
users were reporting trouble in Ubuntu's 2.6.27 pre-release kernel and 
(2) I then should have tested it too before the stable release.  I 
hadn't, because frankly I haven't really done any recent changes that 
carried this level of risk.  Silly me, thinking that nothing else around 
the driver would screw it up...
