Jarrod,

I was unable to get this task completed in the time I had available this
weekend.  A power supply failure, unexpected hard drive replacement, and
my inability to build/install a kernel from a git tree that would
actually boot my Fedora 12 installation didn't help.  (My productivity
has tanked since v4l-dvb went to GIT for CM, and the last time I built a
real kernel without rpmbuild was for RedHat 9. I'm still working out
processes for doing basic things, sorry.)

I'll have time on Thursday night to try again.

Yes, I saw, that's OK.  It should be easy enough to hack something in
for testing and prototyping.

I've got all x86_64 bit machines here, so thank you for the tips.
