[linux-dvb] ATTENTION PLEASE: The DVB major device number has changed

[Johannes Stezenbach <js@convergence.de>]

Hi,

I was just informed that LANANA has assigned an official
major number for DVB, so we don't have to use the "unoffical /
experimental use only" number 250 anymore.

Apparently the number was assigned months ago, just nobody bothered
to tell us:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@1.1371.585.18?nav=index.html

The new offical major number is 212. I've changed the sources
for dvb-kernel (dvbdev.h and MAKEDEV-DVB.sh). People who
don't use devfs will have to recreate their devices.

I'm thinking it might make sense to change the major number
for the 2.4 drivers, too. Any objections?
