This is a new implementation for video pipeline control within the
pvrusb2 driver. Actual start/stop of the pipeline is moved to the
driver's kernel thread. Pipeline stages are controlled autonomously
based on surrounding pipeline or application control state. Kernel
thread management is also cleaned up and moved into the internal
control structure of the driver, solving a set up / tear down race
along the way. Better failure recovery is implemented with this new
control strategy. Also with this change comes better control of the
cx23416 encoder, building on additional information learned about the
peculiarities of controlling this part (this information was the
original trigger for this rework). With this change, overall encoder
stability should be considerably improved. Yes, this is a large
change for this driver, but due to the nature of the feature being
worked on, the changes are fairly pervasive and would be difficult to
break into smaller pieces with any semblence of step-wise stability.

Add -include linux/version.h to the cflags. Now code can have backward
compatibility test without including compat.h first.
Linux headers included from compat.h are removed, so that code will get
the same headers when compiling in v4l-dvb as it does in the kernel.
Many drivers have compat.h moved to the end of their include list, as
this lets compat.h do things it can't do at the beginning. Such as test
of something is defined to include compat code, or to put a wrapper
around a function without changing the function's name.

Trying to temporarily check that the stream is not claimed during open
of the radio device is at best a race condition. What's to stop
another app from claiming the stream anyway the instant after the
check is done? The implementation for this was dicey anyway. So it's
removed. The only "price" for this is that if /dev/radioX is opened
while streaming video, then the video stream is just going to switch
to radio mode anyway. If a user does this, he gets what he expects...

Add (and expose) a new function, pvr2_channel_check_stream_no_lock(), in
pvrusb2-context.c. This is hopefully the last V4L2 interface related patch
to change anything outside pvrusb2-v4l2.c.
We need this to implement the open() for the radio device. The reason is
that within the *enter_context() section of open() we need to ensure nobody
is streaming and if we cannot, we should cleanup after ourselves and return
-EBUSY. We cannot just use claim_stream() because
1) That would cause a deadlock trying to re-acquire the context lock
2) We only need to ensure that nobody is streaming. We don't need to
actually acquire the stream.
Again, this is a kinda ugly patch. Feel free to improve.

The correct mutex header to grab is linux/mutex.h, and while
asm/mutex.h seems to work for x86 architecture, it has been reported
not to work for amd64 architecture. So let's just do this right.

The PVR USB2 hardware seems to like emitting some garbage data before
real stream data appears. This problem has been present all along,
but with the older 29xxx model series it was benign because the
garbage data in question didn't seem to bother mpeg2 players. But
with the 24xxx model series, the garbage data includes what looks like
a corrupted mpeg2 packet, which kills mythtv and ffmpeg. This fix
causes incoming stream data to be discarded until valid mpeg2 data is
seen.

Notice and track actual hardware type of device. This information is
also used now to select the correct FX2 firmware file to load (because
they can be different, unfortunately).
