[pvrusb2] new kernel breaks hauppuage pvrusb2 and hvr-1950 withmythtv

[Mike Isely]

The driver *should* work in recent kernels without having to do anything 
out of the ordinary.  With that said, I guess now I'm about to eat those 
words :-)

I'll post additional information about what's going on once I do my 
tests here.  This is another task right now for me in a long line of 
tasks at the moment.
