Historical reasons I guess. The videobuf module has been designed for PCI 
hardware (bttv if I'm not mistaken). Now that other, non-PCI devices would 
benefit from videobuf, PCI-specific support is being moved to a separate 
module.

Search the video4linux mailing list archive for discussions about videobuf 
cleanup. You can get the latest source tree at www.linuxtv.org.
