Well it's not completely done yet, but there is something to try if 
anyone is interested.  Here's a v4l-dvb repository that in theory should 
be fully working:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mcisely/pvrusb2

It includes 6 new changesets, one of which is the fix to allow the 
cx25840 module to work again with the pvrusb2 driver.  Carsten's 
bus_info change is there as well.  I haven't had a chance to test any of 
this and I haven't yet looked at the LIRC sticking point yet either.  
So no new standalone snapshot yet.  But I will try to get the standalone 
package done in about a day.
