What Michael said about getting the Mercurual (Hg) repository instead of CVS is
all true, but you will still have the same problem.

If you try to take the current sources and put them into the kernel, it won't
compile cleanly.  You will still be missing compat.h, which is in (once you
get the Hg sources) v4l-dvb/v4l/compat.h.  It easy enough to make a link to
it from where it's needed, but you will still have other problems.  They
can be fixed, I compiled the Hg sources with kernel 2.6.12, but it's a pain.

A pain you don't need to go though.  You can just compile the Hg sources
outside the kernel directly from the v4l-dvb source tree.  Just follow the
README that comes with v4l-dvb, it works fine.

I only compiled as part of the kernel so I could test changes I made to the
kernel build Kconfig files.
