And in fact it does.

The problem is that sysfs attribute structures need to be initialized 
with a call to sysfs_attr_init() before being used - this is new for 
2.6.34.  Somebody (likely the kernel developer who implemented this 
requirement) else had already made this change to the pvrusb2 
driver in the kernel.  The change however also didn't make it back to 
the Mercurial v4l-dvb repository yet and so I didn't merge it yet.  I 
had thought that the init() function was effectively a placeholder and 
that future changes were really going to need this.  But I just merged 
that patch directly into the standalone driver and the oops is fixed - 
and the BUG messages are eliminated as well.

I will release a new standalone driver, but I think I'll get some sleep 
first and pick this up tomorrow.
