I thought Michael fixed the load order bug in CVS?

Anyway, the frontends which are converted to use kernel I2C won't work
for card drivers which don't implement a kernel I2C driver (e.g.
skystar2, and probably the USB things). IOW, current CVS won't
work for a lot of people. I hope that someone would show interest
into bringing those drivers back to live...

Currently that blocks submissions to Linux, so 2.6.7 will contain
the same DVB stuff as 2.6.6 (probably even with the errno bug in
tda1004x.c).
