I already saw this bug a couple of days ago and reported it to 
linux-dvb at linuxtv.org.
Those include files use two new macros that aren't defined in kernel < 
2.6.9:

__iomem and __user

an easy workaround is to run
export CFLAGS="-D__iomem -D__user"
./configure <params>


Yet this is a major bug that should be fixed by kernel/dvb developers.
