I'm not sure if you've already seen it so just in case...
The CI control seems to be wired to the SAA7146A DEBI port. I know very little about the CI protocol, it seems to be a rather complex beast :( But at least the low-level hardware access should be simple enough to figure out. The hard part is understanding the CI protocol enough to tell if the responses you get are correct, but that's pretty unrelated to the actual hardware implementation task...

I found some interesting PDFs here, most of them available from etsi.org but not all - EN 50211 most notably.
EN 50211 has some details on CI implementation (especially 'Annex A: PC card-based physical layer' might be useful).
So plz grab it and tell me if it was of any importace.
