754f9969c3 [media] cx18: Only allocate a struct cx18_dvb for the DVB TS stream
The cx18_stream struct contained a struct cx18_dvb for
every stream object, most of which were for analog capture.
Now we only allocate the cx18_dvb object for the DTV TS stream.

79f3e96018 V4L/DVB (13906): cx18: Start IDX streams automatically as an internal associated stream
This change starts the IDX stream along with the MPG stream as an internal
use (only) stream much like the VBI stream can be started as an internal use
stream for inserting sliced VBI packets.

The IDX stream is not started automatically with an MPEG strem if the IDX
stream is disabled (no buffers allocated) or if sliced VBI insertion is being
performed by the cx18 driver.  The cx18 driver doing sliced VBI insertion
makes the offsets in the IDX stream inaccurate for the final MPEG stream
presented to user space.  Since fixing the IDX offsets ourselves is not easy
and we cannot easily do what ivtv does to fix the offsets, we'll make sliced
VBI insertion and MPEG Index capture mutually exclusive for now.

22dce188ef V4L/DVB (13430): cx18: Fix YUV capture so that encoder passes a single frame per transfer
Fix YUV capture such that the encoder will pass one frame per transfer.  This
will allow the application to maintain frame alignment when a transfer from
the encoder is missed due to high system latency in service the CX23418 IRQ.

Also force YUV buffer sizes to be specified in multiples of 33.75 kB, the
smalled amount of buffer sizes need to store a complete set of HM12 4:2:0
macroblocks specifying 32 lines of the frame.  A full 60Hz/525 line
screen requires 15 * 33.75 kB per frame and a full 50Hz/625 line screen
requires 18 * 33.75 kB per frame so the default buffer size is 3 * 33.75 kB,
requiring exactly 5 or 6 buffers per MDL respectively.  The bytes needed per
frame and hence MDL need not be the bytes in an integer number of buffers.
However, if frame artifacts are seen with scaled screen sizes, the YUV buffer
size can be set 34 kB (33.75 kB) to get rid of the artifacts at the cost of more
copies between the kernel and userspace.

dcc0ef8820 V4L/DVB (10442): cx18: Fixes for enforcing when Encoder Raw VBI params can be set
The Encoder will only allow the Raw VBI parameters, along with a number of
other API parameters, to take effect when no analog captures are in
progress.  These parameters must be set before the first analog capture starts,
be it MPEG, VBI, YUV, etc., and cannot be changed until the last one stops.  It
is not obvious to me what capture channel API parameters are shared and which
ones must be set per capture channel, so set them all for every analog
capture channel start up.  This fixes the driver so that VBI capture can be
started up after the MPEG capture is going.

A major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing, to split

deferrable work.  Started optimizing some of the cx18-io calls as they are now
the low hanging fruit for recoving microseconds back from the timeline.

error message on card initialization.  A number of them were being remapped to
ENOMEM when no memory or array resource shortage existed.  That hampered
diagnosis of user trouble reports.

dd89601d47 V4L/DVB (9133): v4l: disconnect kernel number from minor
The v4l core creates four different video devices (video, vbi, radio, vtx)
and each has its own range of minor numbers. However, modern devices keep
increasing the number of devices that they need so a maximum of 64 video
devices will not be enough in the future. In addition this scheme makes
it very hard to add new device types.

This patch disconnects the kernel number allocation (e.g. video0, video1,
etc.) from the actual minor number (just pick the first free minor).

This allows for much more flexibility in the future. However, it does
require the use of udev. For those who cannot use udev a new CONFIG option
was created that changes the allocation scheme back to the old behavior.

Thanks to Greg KH for suggesting this approach during the 2008 LPC.

In addition, several bugs were fixed in the ivtv and cx18 drivers: these
drivers try to allocate specific kernel numbers but that scheme contained
a bug which caused what should have been e.g. video17 to appear as e.g.
video2.

cx18: Create cx18_ specific wrappers for all pci mmio accessesors.  This is a
first step in instrumenting all CX23418 PCI bus IO, to debug problems with
accessing the CX23418's PCI memory mapped IO.

3b5df8ea40 V4L/DVB (8774): cx18: Have CX23418 release buffers at end of capture.
cx18: Have CX23418 release buffers at end of capture.  The CX23418 reuses task
handles so we need to have it release the buffers associated with a task handle
at the end of a capture.  If we don't, buffer ids used for one type of stream
in the driver (MPEG, TS, PCM), could be used for another type of stream by the
CX23418, if a previously used handle is assigned to a different type of stream.
The driver would drop valid buffers when this happened.
