3. The work handler kernel thread, cx18-0-in, got killed, if that's
possible, or the processor it was running on got really bogged down.

One thing from the /var/log/messages output:
12:55:59 duke kernel: IRQ 18/cx18-0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on
shared IRQs
Which is a result of the code doing this:
retval = request_irq(cx->pci_dev->irq, cx18_irq_handler,
IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED,
cx->v4l2_dev.name, (void *)cx);
I'm not at the MythTV box right now, but it is likely that this IRQ
really is shared with other devices.
Does the driver *really* rely upon IRQF_DISABLED (to avoid races in the
handler)?
If so, then this could be a good clue.
If not, then that IRQF_DISABLED should get nuked.
