OK. And all the dvb devices are definitely closed when you reload the drivers? 
(I think you did say that - just making extra sure).

Can you bung some printk()s in dvbdev.c/dvb_device_open() to see exactly where 
it is coming from/dump out the relevant struct values? It looks to me like 
its somewhere about the first call to fops_get(). If not, I can send you a 
quick hacky patch to do it...
