I started with http://ivtv.no-ip.info/ivtv-0.3/ivtv-0.3.2r.tgz and
made the change to it that you specified

I tried, but hit a couple of problems.

- the text of your message is somewhat curdled.  I'm not sure what
  your code is supposed to be -- some newlines were lost?

- this code won't build (on my Fedora Core 3 i386 system;
  kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3).  It gets a lot of messages line this:

/home/hugh/tba/ivtv/ivtv-0.3.2r/driver/ivtv-kthreads.c:1019: error: structure 
has no member named `magic'
/home/hugh/tba/ivtv/ivtv-0.3.2r/driver/ivtv-kthreads.c:1019: error: structure

has no member named `module'
/home/hugh/tba/ivtv/ivtv-0.3.2r/driver/ivtv-kthreads.c:1019: error: structure 
has no member named `owner'

  The code being complained about appears innocent to me (but I am not
  experienced with kernel code):

  spin_lock_irq(SIGMASK_LOCK(current))

I investigated a litle.  I looked at what the preprocessor did to the
code.  It boiled down to:
        (((get_current()))->magic

get_current is a function that returns a pointer to the current
process's struct task_struct.

There is no definition of struct task_struct in the preprocessed code.
So dereferencing get_current is likely to fail.  Perhaps an include file is 
missing?

struct task_struct seems to be defined in <linux/sched.h>.  But there is no 
magic field!

Very odd.  Since that was not the problem I started out to solve, I
just commented out the lines that generated these errors.  (Not a
solution!!)

Once I did that, a make (in drivers/, of course) worked.  Three
deprecated interruptible_sleep_on calls.

BUT NO ASSEMBLEY ERRORS :-(

Sorry, I don't seem to be any help.  Can you show me a way to duplicate the 
problem you experienced?
