Good idea. After some more checks, it seems reasonable. I consequently
propose the following patch:

Quite dirty indeed, but isn't it the exact purpose of the compat.h file,
being the dirty glue to compile latest kernel code inside older kernels ?

I think this would help all Fedora users to have this little path committed
into the linuxtv.org repository.

Thanks Barry for your idea.
