I tried the patch. All log messages regarding IRQ (present with previous 
version) are gone, so it'a good work :-)

Unluckily, I have again the strange interruptions on encrypted channels
(ERROR: CAM: Read failed: slot 0, tcid 1
[pause 1,2 or 40 seconds, randomly]
CI resource manager: unexpected data
CAM: NCAS, 01, 0001, 0001

I suppose my symptoms are similar (but less blocking, from description) 
to those reported from irk:

My cam is also a Matrix Revolution, NCAS programmed. I don't know where 
the problem could be...
