Please try it out. Set .flags = SAA7146_USE_I2C_IRQ in av7110.c around line 
2910. 

The last time I tried I got spurious DEBI and/or GPIO interrupts together 
with the i2c interrupts, which screwed up the communication with the ARM. 

Perhaps this is not true anymore.

Ah, sorry, of course you're right.
