Actually, since the problem is that there are obviously some "just in
case" type calls if i810_update_lvi(), the best answer is not to even go
through all those motions when dmabuf->count == 0. So, I would add a
line to i810_update_lvi() that makes it return without doing anything
when dmabuf->count == 0. That one line should solve your lockups (and
finalize the 0.12 version).
