It seems to be working for me right now, I've watched a couple avis and
DVD without much problem.  Except some frame droppage causing
audio/video to go out of sync now and again...and again...

I first updated the to the 1.501 kernel and recompiled the driver and it
worked.  It stopped working when I installed the last couple batches of
rawhide updates last night.  Tried recompiling the driver and rebooted
and it worked again.  It's been very finicky with some of the latest
rawhide/kernel updates.  I'm still trying to figure out exactly whats
going on with a/v being outta sync quite a bit of the time, but at least
in general the driver is working ok for me here.

The driver still seems broken with preempt_voluntary enabled.  I'm just
using preempt atm.
