Excellent news, thanks and congratulations!

It would be really useful to me (as Debian package maintainer) if you
could make a release which contained everything, including the main ivtv
driver, but only build ivtv.ko if the kernel release was < 2.6.22.
ifeq ($(shell expr $(SUBLEVEL) \< 22 && echo || echo 1),1)
obj-m += ivtv.o
endif
(there must be an easier way ;-))
It might be even better to build ivtv.ko if CONFIG_IVTV (whatever the
name in 2.6.22 will be) is unset or missing, then even people using
2.6.22+ could use your releases (for example if it has new feature not
yet available in kernel.org etc)... e.g.
ifeq ($(CONFIG_IVTV),)
obj-m += ivtv.o
endif
Cheers,
Ian.
