I've asked the linuxtv folk if they are interested in a patch.

Well, if I modprobe the saa7134.ko and saa7134_dvb.ko
I get the /dev/video0 and /dev/dvb/adapter0 devices created

But if I try to scan for TV channels with

# dvbscan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-Waltham  > ~/.tzap/channels.conf

I get "Unable to query frontend status", so the device doesn't seem to 
be functioning.

The machine doesn't die when the stray interrupt fires, in fact I can 
rmmod the module and modprobe it again, the error repeats after another 
40 seconds.

I did wonder how (or if) shared interrupts would work.

Given the relatively high number of devices on the motherboard and 
PCI-X/PCI/PCIe cards I suspect it will have to be shared.
Here is a brief lspci

Looks like the PCI slot with the tuner shares IRQ17 with the PCI-X slot 
used by my 8xSATA card.

I can try to move the tuner card to the other PCI slot, but I suspect it 
will just share with something else instead, besides I planned to 
populate both PCI slots with tuners for passthrough, once I got the 
first one working.

I'll have a go at that.
