If I understand correctly, this driver is based on the legacy ieee1394
subsystem.  I'm curious, is there a plan to migrate it to juju, where
presumably it could be a lot cleaner and might not even have to live in
the kernel at all (except for the need for some sort of dvb loopback
device which might not yet exist)?
