Progress means some reason for the change.  This was pretty arbitrary.

I still need to include a copy, as not everyone has the header, and not 
everyone _with_ the header in their kernel includes has the newest version.  
I also can't update to the newest version, as that would break things for 
everyone that compiled the ivtv driver properly (with the included 
videodev2.h).

Proper thing to do would be to patch the ivtv driver for the new ioctls, and 
have it handle both the new and old ones.  Then I can change my local copy of 
videodev2.h in the myth source to the new one in a month or two.
