Hmm... FB_IVTV is not hardware... it is framebuffer support for IVTV.
It is optional to use FB API for the video output port of this board,
instead of using V4L2 API.

I would say, instead, something like: 

	"In order to use this module, you will need to boot with PAT disabled
	  on x86 systems, using the nopat kernel parameter."

Errors are always negative. So: 
		return -EINVAL

Or, perhaps, -ENODEV.
