I've bumped into the site you mention in my searching, but there's isn't
really anything there.  There's no files to download, not documentation
and no discussion.

I've compile the saa716x modules manually from:
http://jusst.de/hg/saa716x/summary

Having built these modules, I'm now getting the message about in dmesg
when I try to modprobe the modules.  It appears that the Fedora kernel
isn't supplying the symbols above, but I don't know why not, or how to
add them to the mix.
