I do understand that we don't want to have the same code repeated in may 
places, as the PVR cards don't use the budget drivers, there is the 
problem that when loading ir-kbd-i2c (which is needed together with the 
ivtv drivers) the keytable won't be the right one.

So maybe it's better to lift out the keytable to a header, which both 
drivers can access and use.
