Would you point the mail to me where you did - I cant find any - You
said that for GET_PARAMS you need the space to store it. I ask you to
point out why the kernel code decides to ignore it on SET_PARAMS.

What statistics can i possibly ask for when i didnt set any parameters?
Why not return EAGAIN if i ask for stats which are not there - that
would be a sane way to respond to it instead of garbling the tuner state
on a GET_INFO ...
