* The 0x1f mask could be useful for some applications. Maybe we could have this as an extra kernel parameter?
* I did not implement reference counting for 0x2000 pids, because I thought they would not be added more than once. However thinking about it now, it seems that this can actually happen to every pid, e.g. if you run dvbstream and scan at once. Therefore we probably need ref-counting for all pids? This is a nightmare for implementation and should probably done using some hash map technique.

We have plenty of space in the hi bits of the two pid lists (0-57343
value range)!
Why don't we do ref-counting in theese unused hi bits.
Should be quick, and no space and code consuming.

Err, ok, you're right. I should not post early in the morning, my brain seems to be not fully booted :)
