Okay, I see the problem. It's the same as we saw with the speedtouch
driver last week: The pvrusb2 driver resets its device but doesn't
define a pre_reset or a post_reset method.  As a result it gets
disconnected during the reset, and the recursive call causes it to
hang.

This patch should fix the problem.  It's not entirely correct, but it 
should at least allow the driver to work like it did in 2.6.26.
