Unfortunately, the tests for the patches fixing several videobuf issues finished later on -rc9, when Linus were releasing 2.6.25.
I should send the videobuf patches to Linus tree, together with other patches, probably today. After that, I think we should backport the fixes for 2.6.25, and test it again, with vanilla 2.6.25.
The issue here is that videobuf suffered several changes on this development cycle. Probably, only a few of those patches are needed to fix the issue. So, we need to handle this with care, to avoid the risk of damaging other drivers that relies on videobuf.
Cheers, Mauro
