IMHO, we should be able to move those headers into include/media/dvb , and those out-of-tree driver maintainers should be able to adapt to the move, without too much trouble. Let's put this on the to-do list for pre-2.6.15 ... We should have it changed early enough in cvs to allow sufficient warning time for those out-of-tree drivers to notice and adapt to the move.
