There's already a patch coming up through v4l-dvb that should remove the
need for the reset completely for the pvrusb2 driver. The reset had
been there as "chicken soup" previously - it didn't hurt but its
utility wasn't really that great at the time. Now that it is hurting,
I just removed it.

Should I wait for the patch coming up through v4l-dvb or test Alan's patch?
2.6.27.2 has quite a few issues:

1. xfs is broken w/barrier (there is a patch for this)
2. usb hangs (patch below)
3. abit-guru (comsetic issue only, doesn't find mobo) (there is a patch for this now as well)

So I am sticking with 2.6.26.5 right now, let me know if you need me
to test Alan's patch to see if it fixes the issue.
