Device bonding

Hi!

 Now that I have a spare DVB-S2 tuner (TechniSat SkyStar USB HD
(adapter2); the others on this box are atm Hauppauge Nova-TD model
1172 (adapter 0+1) and TechnoTrend S2-3600 (adapter3) - all USB) I
decided to play with vdr device bonding.  I discovered three things:
(still using vdr 1.7.29, I know I should upgrade... :)

1. The LNB setup OSD menu causes bonding to fail (it's trying to
   bond a DVB-T tuner) if I set the two DVB-S2 tuners as "connected
   to sat cable 1"; it works with "sat cable 2".  Maybe it somehow
   thinks of (one of?) the DVB-T tuner(s) as cable 1 too?

2. The infosatepg plugin doesn't check MaySwitchTransponder() and thus
   grabs a bonded device when it shouldn't, I just patched that in the
   FreeBSD port: (plugin maintainer Cc'd)

	http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr-plugin-infosatepg/files/patch-infosatepg.cpp?r1=300896&r2=312357

3. Running with these four tuners (dual DVB-T and the bonded two DVB-S2)
   I get two different deadlocks waiting for cDvbTuner::bondMutex
   after live viewing a DVB-T(!) channel for longer (OSD doesn't
   react anymore and attaching gdb reveals two threads waiting for
   bondMutex) - the following two changes make it work but there
   probably is a better fix:  (patch may apply with offsets; one
   of the problems I think is a lock order reversal with cDvbTuner::mutex
   and bondMutex when cDvbTuner::SetChannel calls back into itself
   with bondMutex held.)
