See http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/software.htm for information on
which kernel I'm using (currently 2.6.13).

Ouch, I totally missed that one when converting everything to
the new version.

Since the runvdr script is just a suggestion on how to allow VDR
to recover from a driver crash, I'll change it like the attached
script. There the user can fill in the functions necessary to
detect, load and unload the driver.
