I'm still in doubt about something: what's the real requirement from userspace
to justify a new ioctl?

Userspace will still need to allocate the same memory in order to get back
the tuner parameters with FE_GET_PROPERTY and to get statistics. Also, tuning
happens just once per channel, so hardly this would bring *any* real 
performance improvement while tuning into a channel.

The above optimization seem OK. Still, it is better to place it on
a separate patch.

Assuming that you provide a good reason why we need this ioctl, this
should be on the second patch with the new ioctl.
