[pvrusb2] HVR1950 IR blaster inquiry

[Mike Isely]

Jared:

There have been some recent developments in the v4l-dvb tree with 
respect to IR.  And there is a strong suspicion that with these changes 
the IR blaster side might start working now for the HVR-1950 (and also 
the HVR-1900).

The changes should be available starting with the 2.6.39 kernel tree.

I will also update the standalone driver to match (already have pulled 
down the changes just haven't done the release yet), however the key 
fixes are actually in the IR subsystem not the pvrusb2 driver so you 
would still need the 2.6.39 (or later) kernel anyway.
