Before this patch, vivi were simulating a scatter gather DMA transfer.
While this is academic, showing how stuff really works on a real PCI
device, this means a non-optimized code.
There are only two memory models that vivi implements:
1) kernel alloced memory. This is also used by read() method.
On this case, a vmalloc32 buffer is allocated at kernel;
2) userspace allocated memory. This is used by most userspace apps.
video-buf will store this pointer.
a simple copy_to_user is enough to transfer data.
The third memory model scenario supported by video-buf is overlay mode.
This model is not implemented on vivi and unlikely to be implemented on
newer drivers, since now, most userspace apps do some post-processing
(like de-interlacing).
After this patch, some cleanups may be done at video-buf.c to avoid
allocating pages, when the driver doesn't need a PCI buffer. This is the
case of vivi and usb drivers.

Videodev now is capable of better handling V4L2 api, by
processing V4L2 ioctls and using callbacks to the driver.
The drivers should be migrated to the newer way and the older
one will be obsoleted soon.

Video_buf were concerned to allow PCI devices to be used as
video capture devices. This patch extends video_buf features
by virtualizing pci-dependent functions and allowing other
type of devices to use it.
It is still DMA centric, although it may be used also by
devices that emulates scatter/gather behavior or a DMA device

Semaphore to mutex conversion.
The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.
