[pvrusb2] New driver snapshot: pvrusb2-mci-20070428a

[Mike Isely]

A(nother) new pvrusb2 snapshot is available.  This version also fixes 
compilation breakage for kernels older than 2.6.16.  The cause was due 
to the mutex change in the previous snapshot.

As usual, the pvrusb2 web site can be found at:
