Ahh, and even if the ivtv module is not loaded, I will still have a
shared IRQ, right? I didn't see ivtv in /proc/interrupts before, as I
unload the ivtv driver on boot in /etc/rc.local, before unbinding the
ivtv tuner and binding it to pci stub. (the ivtv tuner is normally
assigned to the same guest, but not now while testing the PCI USB
card).

If I don't unload (and unbind/bind) the ivtv driver/tuner on boot in
/etc/local, I get the following in /proc/interrupts on a clean boot:

If I now unbind and bind the PCI USB card to pci stub, I get no
changes in /proc/interrupts.

So I suppose I'll need to get rid of this shared IRQ before I can
conclude anything on the patch in git. Hmm, is there some cleaver way
of fixing this in Linux, or do I have to fix it by changing BIOS IRQ
settings, disabling hardware and/or moving the hardware around in
various PCI slots?
