There are still some issued with saa7134, but I don't want to delay the
upstream submission for vb2 due to those issues, as they may be caused by
the saa7134 port to vb2. So, I'll be adding on my tree, and I'll be sending
it upstream. Yet, I suggest that you finish the saa7134 backport, to allow
more people to test it, as we have tons of users with saa7134 and they can
help to double check if is there any bad locking inside vb2.

Cheers,
Mauro
