@Mauro:

This changeset _must_ be reverted! It breaks all kernels since 2.6.27
for applications which use DVB and require a low interrupt latency.

It is a very bad idea to call the demuxer to process data buffers with
interrupts disabled!

FYI, a LIRC problem was reported here:
  http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?postid=786366#post786366

and it has been verified that changeset
  http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/aa3e5cc1d833
causes the problem:
  http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?postid=791813#post791813

Please revert this changeset immediately and submit a fix to the stable
kernels >= 2.6.27.

Oliver
