(Sorry: "crash" = "hit DMA TIMEOUT errors" in this message).

More info: I turned on -D584 and it didn't crash.  And I waited and it
didn't crash.  And finally, to shut down the constant-disk-writing
noise, I set -D1 for a while and it crashed within an hour after doing
that.

So, it seems to me like turning on -D584 seems to avoid the issue.
Could that be because the IVTV_DBGFLG_HIGHVOL flag results in a log call
that in the end either takes long enough the timing issues go away or
actually releases the kernel and/or user-space to interrupt for a period
of time and that control break is what is fixing things?  On a scale of
1-10 for kernel source development, I'm only about a 2 so excuse my lack
of knowledge.
