remember: using the current hg with a 2.6.27 kernel did work!
Is the sub-device mechanism a v4l2-only stuff? Then I guess all changes are in 
drivers/media/...  which are all in the hg. Therefore  I think that even 
using it with a 2.6.27, it would use the new sub-device mechanism. 

Supposed the problem is related to the subdev changes, then it seems that this 
combination (all v4l2 stuff from hg, but kernel older than 2.6.29) uses the 
old way. But why?
Are there any dependencies to kernel files outside drivers/media/... ?

Greets,
Martin
