Imho it would be better to use 250 for all API-3 drivers,
and switch to 212 for API-4.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. A patch from Alan Cox for the
in-kernel DVB driver has already been submitted and it will probably
be included in 2.6.8 already.
So people switching between V3 in-kernel and V3 CVS will need to pay
extra attention.
Maybe a kernel-config option to choose the DVB_MAJOR define used
simplifies the transition, especially for people who switch between
different kernel version on-the-fly and don't want to recreate their
device nodes for every boot...
