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.

The direct register access ioctls were defined as kernel internal only,
but they are very useful for debugging hardware from userspace and are
used as such. Officially export them.
VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER is renamed to VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER
Definition of ioctl and struct v4l2_register is moved from v4l2-common.h
to videodev2.h.
Types used in struct v4l2_register are changed to the userspace
exportable versions (u32 -> __u32, etc).
Use of VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission, so move
the check into the video_ioctl2() dispatcher so it doesn't need to be
duplicated in each driver's call-back function.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is added to pvrusb2 (which doesn't use video_ioctl2).

Add support for these ioctls to the video_ioctl2 system and the cx88
driver.
