[pvrusb2] New driver snapshot: pvrusb2-mci-20100424

[Mike Isely]

It looks like indeed there are missing header includes that are needed 
for 2.6.34.  The changes are already in the in-kernel pvrusb2 driver but 
it seems that the v4l-dvb team is being slow in propagating these back 
into the Mercurial repository, which is why I haven't seen them yet.  
Rather than additional back and forth steps here, how about anyone who 
is interested just jump into #pvrusb2 on IRC and we'll sort this out?

The fact that the Mercurial v4l-dvb repository, due to this, probably 
doesn't compile either for 2.6.34-rc5 - and since I'm guessing that 
these changes have probably been in there for a little while now - makes 
me worry about how well that repo is being kept up, which may force me 
over to git sooner rather than later :-(

In any case once it's straightened out there will have to be another 
standalone driver release to maintain compatibility with 2.6.34.
