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.
