Sounds good to me... IMHO, we should be able to move those headers into 
include/media/dvb , and those out-of-tree driver maintainers should be 
able to adapt to the move, without too much trouble.

Let's put this on the to-do list for pre-2.6.15 ...  We should have it 
changed early enough in cvs to allow sufficient warning time for those 
out-of-tree drivers to notice and adapt to the move.

Thanks for the quick reply, :-D
