Oops.  Didn't notice that yet as my IR driver is 2.6-only for other
reasons anyway.  But people start moving to 2.6 now, I get increasing
numbers of bug reports for 2.6 kernels.  I expect both heavy v4l and
dvb users will switch quickly just because v4l2 and dvb are part of
the 2.6.x standard kernel.

Ran into this too (see other mail).
