The fp math is only used to calculate how the tuner frequencies are
derived from the PLL. This should be easy.

That's good advice. I can use this driver to learn two things:
1) how to use the card
2) how not to write kernel code
If you don't mind me asking a couple of questions about bttv every once in
a while, I'll start the job of hacking support for the 881 into it.
