Before patch:
---
Dec  3 05:27:30 sarabi vdr[22722]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=22722, tid=822543584)
Dec  3 05:27:32 sarabi vdr[22722]: tuner on device 2 thread started (pid=22722, tid=814154976)
---

After patch:
---
Dec  5 04:31:46 sarabi vdr[27624]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=27624, tid=-1)
Dec  5 04:31:48 sarabi vdr[27624]: tuner on device 2 thread started (pid=27624, tid=-1)
---

After patch and "env LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1":
---
Dec  5 04:35:01 sarabi vdr[27641]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=27641, tid=-1)
Dec  5 04:35:03 sarabi vdr[27644]: tuner on device 2 thread started (pid=27644, tid=-1)
---

I assumed that "make clean" is not required after patching, just
"make".

Now just waiting for threads to get wildly active.
