Comment(by candrews at integralblue.com):

 Actually, I'm the anonymous guy, too.

 According to powertop, the backend's polling rate stayed the same at
 ~16.5/sec on my computer. However, it helped in your setup (as it seems it
 did!) then that's even better!

 I've been running the patch since I applied it on a backend/frontend
 combo, and on a frontend only. I haven't noticed any bugs, and I've been
 using both to watch and record tv, do live tv, watch videos, etc.

 As for the strace, that was taken with the patch applied. I'm presently
 trying to figure out how to use gdb to figure out where in the code those
 selects are taking place, but not being a C programmer or someone who has
 ever used gdb is making that difficult :-)

 Thanks again
