[media] media: Entities, pads and links
As video hardware pipelines become increasingly complex and
configurable, the current hardware description through v4l2 subdevices
reaches its limits. In addition to enumerating and configuring
subdevices, video camera drivers need a way to discover and modify at
runtime how those subdevices are connected. This is done through new
elements called entities, pads and links.
An entity is a basic media hardware building block. It can correspond to
a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware devices
(CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building block
in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or physical
connectors.
A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact with
other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should
not be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.
A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads, either
on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
pad to a sink pad.
Links are stored in the source entity. To make backwards graph walk
faster, a copy of all links is also stored in the sink entity. The copy
is known as a backlink and is only used to help graph traversal.
The entity API is made of three functions:
- media_entity_init() initializes an entity. The caller must provide an
array of pads as well as an estimated number of links. The links array
is allocated dynamically and will be reallocated if it grows beyond the
initial estimate.
- media_entity_cleanup() frees resources allocated for an entity. It
must be called during the cleanup phase after unregistering the entity
and before freeing it.
- media_entity_create_link() creates a link between two entities. An
entry in the link array of each entity is allocated and stores pointers
to source and sink pads.
When a media device is unregistered, all its entities are unregistered
automatically.
The code is based on Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> initial work.

[media] media: Media device
The media_device structure abstracts functions common to all kind of
media devices (v4l2, dvb, alsa, ...). It manages media entities and
offers a userspace API to discover and configure the media device
internal topology.

[media] media: Media device node support
The media_devnode structure provides support for registering and
unregistering character devices using a dynamic major number. Reference
counting is handled internally, making device drivers easier to write
without having to solve the open/disconnect race condition issue over
and over again.
The code is based on video/v4l2-dev.c.

V4L/DVB (13612): IR: Move common IR code to drivers/media/IR
This is the first step of creating a common code for IR that can be
used by other input devices.
For now, keep IR dir at drivers/media, to easy the movement of the IR files,
but later patches may move it to drivers/IR or drivers/input/IR.
No functional changes is done on this patch.

VIDEO_MEDIA is no longer usable in Makefile's for deciding

Fix drivers/media build for modular builds
Fix allmodconfig build bug introduced in latest -git by commit
7c91f0624a9 ("V4L/DVB(7767): Move tuners to common/tuners"):
LD kernel/built-in.o
LD drivers/built-in.o
ld: drivers/media/built-in.o: No such file: No such file or directory
which happens if all media drivers are modular:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_09_24_48_CEST_2008.bad
In that case there's no obj-y rule connecting all the built-in.o files and
the link tree breaks.
The fix is to add a guaranteed obj-y rule for the core vmlinux to build.
(which results in an empty object file if all media drivers are modular)

now, the same tuner can be used by drivers/media/dvb and drivers/media/video.
Kconfig items were rearranged, to split V4L/DVB core from their drivers.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
