[pvrusb2] Compile problem on SUSE

[Mike Isely]

The warning at the front of the build (about Module.symvers being 
missing) and the error at the end refer to stuff that gets generated 
into the kernel source tree when that tree is first built.  The 2.6.x 
kernel build system requires you to work with a tree that's been built 
once.  I'd guess here that the kernel tree you are using has not been 
set up correctly (for whatever that may mean in SUSE).
