Correct firmware type to MTS
Correct audio routing for composite/s-video
Add DVB-T detection.

This patch uses the eeprom hash method for detection as the vendor/product
ids are also used for the DIGIVOX_AD. This may be a clone of the same
product. Explanatory text has been added prior to the hask look-up in
anticipation that it may help others.

The following has been tested to work:
Analogue TV (PAL-I)
Composite In
DVB-T (UK Crystal Palace)
USB AUDIO

The following has not been tested but probably works:

With man-pages-3.07, the numa_maps documentation home is now proc(5), so
the reference in Documentation/vm/page_migration needs updating.
(Cliff/Lee are removing numa_maps.5 from the numactl package.) Also, the
download location for the numactl package changed a while back.  This
patch fixes both things, as well as a typo (provided-->provides).

This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
2.6.26.

This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.

Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
auerswald web site.

So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.
