Nope, the reason is that it works fine with converted drivers like ivtv,
but not for old drivers (i.e. all others). And I didn't test this
particular case with other drivers (I actually just found this same bug
when I was converting saa7134).

Can you fast-track this fix? Or shall I do this? It must be sent on to
2.6.29 asap as well as this is a rather big regression...
