I just want to solve the current issue, and decide the proper way for Trent's fixes.

I consider you a very skilled programmer. Unfortunately, it seems that
you're not interested anymore on submitting kernel patches, since your
last contribution, as an author, were back on Aug, 8, 2006:

V4L/DVB (4432): Fix Circular dependencies

It would be a pleasure to have you contributing again. However, we need to fix the pointed issues.

Also, considering that:

1) the Trent patches addressing the issues exists since august, 2006;

2) nobody pointed any troubles at the current approach;

3) the patch does provide a proper fix for module removal, working well on both hardwares with and without DST;

4) I'm responsible for reviewing and forwarding patches for /drivers/media stuff;

I think there's no reason for me to not forward the proper fixes to mainstream.
