I belive it won't work on any kernel < 2.5.48. That's why I sent it
there instead of mplayer-dev-eng - it's just a hack to make mga_vid work
on 2.5.

It lacks important feature (which I forgotten to mention): ability
to unload. MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT and MOD_INC_USE_COUNT should go away
(that's easy part) and try_module_get(&module) should be used instead
- but I don't know where. :-)
And I don't know how Makefile supporting both 2.4 and 2.5 should look
like...
