Don't know, havn't a DVB card (yet) and havn't even tried to build the
dvb drivers with 2.4.

I'd try something like this: rm the files which are not needed
(because they already present in the kernel) from the dvb source tree,
i.e. v4l2-common. v4l1-compat, videodev2.h, videodev.h, to make sure
they are not used.

Then fixup the Makefiles until it compiles (remove deleted modules,
maybe fixup compiler include paths to make it use the kernel's
videodev*.h header files).
