In the current driver, the field order is global. As soon as it's changed it
takes immediate effect. This is a problem when the video changes order mid
stream. Although it mostly works okay, the video may judder / flicker.
This patch attaches the field order to the frame, so that any buffered frames
will not be displayed until the correct field. In the event that the field
order is changed mid stream, the driver will ensure that the previous frame
is displayed for a minimum of 3 fields. These are the two original fields the
frame should have occupied, plus the one extra since the new frame still has
to wait for the correct field.

The VBI DMA is handled in a special way and is marked with a bit.
However, that bit was set at the wrong time and could be cleared
by mistake if a PCM (or other) DMA request would arrive before the
VBI DMA was completed. So on completion of the VBI DMA the driver
no longer knew that that DMA transfer was for VBI data. And this
in turn caused havoc with the card's DMA engine.

Add support for high volume debug messages, allowing them to be turned
on selectively.

Sliced VBI transfers use PIO instead of DMA. This was done inside the
interrupt handler, but since PIO accesses are very slow this meant that
a lot of time was spent inside the interrupt handler. All PIO copies are
now moved to a workqueue. This should fix various issues with missing time
ticks and remote key hits.

It took three core maintainers, over four years of work, eight new i2c
modules, eleven new V4L2 ioctls, three new DVB video ioctls, a Sliced
VBI API, a new MPEG encoder API, an enhanced DVB video MPEG decoding
API, major YUV/OSD contributions from Ian and John, web/wiki/svn/trac
support from Axel Thimm, (hardware) support from Hauppauge, support and
assistance from the v4l-dvb people and the many, many users of ivtv to
finally make it possible to merge this driver into the kernel.
Thank you all!
