Hm, forget that.. After some more testing I recognized that it does not
really solve the problem. It just seems to delay it. However, I
committed a patch to dvb-kernel, which adds a module parameter
"hw_sections". If set to 0, then the driver will get transport stream
packets from the arm and use the software demux to filter sections. The
default setting (1) does section filtering in the arm firmware, which is
less stable under high load but should be faster. I haven't seen any arm
crash since I am using software section filters.

Andreas
