I loaded cx88xx with ir_debug=1 or something like that, and got debug output
in dmesg.  Indeed, the toggle bit did not toggle.  If this is the case with
two RCUs, then this is probably not an issue (that is, the bug is already
in the RCU).

Agreed.

Thanks, I'll try it out after some time (hopefully, with a snapshot that
has better working cx88 drivers).

Thanks, I'll try setting those.
