Yes.

No.  Two different versions of the msp3400 (and the other) modules
isn't going to fly, especially in mixed-card setups (one ivtv card,
one bttv card for example).  We'll need *one* module which works with
*all* cards.

It's a workaround for the cases where the kernel's version doesn't
work correctly with ivtv (patches to fix that are welcome btw, hint,
hint ...).

In the long run the ivtv versions of these modules should become
obsolete and this mess should go away.  Extra bonus is that merging
ivtv into the mainline kernel will be alot easier then ;)
