Your debug patch helps - but with you patch applied another problem is back again:

3.2.1 ... 3.2.4
===========
dvb-s reception with kaffeine works well, but starting kaffeine
triggers a circular locking dependency warning, see:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1487577


3.3-rc2+ (23783f817bceedd6d4e549385e3f400ea64059e5)
===============================================
spinlock trylock failure on UP on CPU#0 warning is triggered during system startup,
dvb-s with kaffeine is broken (only about  1-2 fps, video frames and audio distorted),
the circular locking dependency warning mentioned above is gone.


3.3-rc2+ (23783f817bceedd6d4e549385e3f400ea64059e5) + blk-icq-lock-fix.patch
=================================================================
spinlock trylock failure warning during system startup is gone,
dvb-s reception with kaffeine is still broken,
the circular locking dependency warning is triggered again by kaffeine:
