Hello everybody on the list,

I have a KNC-1 DVB-S card running under kernel 2.6.36 and mythtv. I experience 
high load values in top like mentioned ages ago in this thread: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-June/026509.html. 
My card has no CI-Module installed and the high load was CI-Module related, so 
I decided to give it a try and completely disable ciintf_init() in the kernel 
module which helped a lot. Load decreased by 50-80%. So I decided to add a 
module parameter to disable ciintf_init() on demand. Here is the diff:

65,69d64
< 
< int budget_init_ci=1;
< module_param_named(init_ci, budget_init_ci, int, 0644);
< MODULE_PARM_DESC(init_ci, "Turn on(1)/off(0) ci initializing (default:on).");
< 
1519,1520c1514
<       if (budget_init_ci)
<         ciintf_init(budget_av);
---
>       ciintf_init(budget_av);

I don't know if this is useful at all so please be patient with me. If you have 
comments or anything else, please do answer to my mail-address too, as I'm not 
subscribed to the list.

Kind regards,
Andreas--
