It turns out that the cx23415/6 DMA engine cannot do scatter/gather DMA
reliably. Every so often depending on the phase of the moon and your
hardware configuration the cx2341x DMA engine simply chokes on it and
you have to reboot to get it working again.
This change replaced the scatter/gather DMA by single transfers at a time,
where the driver is now responsible for DMA-ing each buffer.
UDMA is still done using scatter/gather DMA, that will be fixed soon.
Many thanks to Mark Bryars <mark.bryars@etvinteractive.com> for discovering
the link between scatter/gather and the DMA timeouts.

When there are no more free buffers, then buffers are stolen from the
predma queue. Buffers should be stolen from the head of that queue (which
is where the most recently added buffers are) and all buffers belonging
to a frame should be stolen. Otherwise 'half-frames' would remain in the
queue, which leads to ugly playback and complete sync failure for YUV
buffers.

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!
