I just got af9013 rewrite ready. Feel free to test.

It reduces typical statistics polling load maybe 1/4 from the original.

I see still small glitch when switching to channel. That seems to come 
from tuner driver I2C load. There is 3 tuners used for dual devices; 
MXL5005S, MXL5007T and TDA18271. I have only MXL5005S and MXL5007T dual 
devices here. MXL5005S is worse than MXL5007T but both makes still 
rather much I/O.

regards
Antti
