According to the v4l2 spec, very old MPEG index entries needs to be discarded
in favor of newer index entries. This change ensures the firmware always has
buffers for index entries at the expense of the oldest unread buffers.

To avoid sleeps in providing buffers to user space and in handling incoming
buffers from the capture unit, converted the per stream mutex for locking
queues to 3 spin locks. There is now a spin lock per queue
to increase concurrency when moving buffers around.
Also simplified queue manipulations and buffer handling of incoming buffers
of data from the capture unit.

When sending an outgoing firmware command, prepare to wait before we raise the
interrupt, so we don't miss the wake_up() on the acknowledgment. When waiting
for the acknowledgement, there is no need to loop around schedule(), as there
will only be one interrupt, and hence one wake_up(), issued.

are to ensure the SCB and IPC area are correct before starting up the firmware,

cx18: Use a known open task handle when setting stream CX2341x parameters

cx18: Avoid making firmware API calls with the queue lock held. The source
of MPEG strem corruption when not holding the queue lock was found to be that
the MPEG buffer could be retrieved by the user app before it was sync'ed for
the host cpu. Incoming buffers are now sync'ed before being put on q_full and
releasing the queue lock. We can thus avoid the sometimes lengthy call to
the firmware for CPU_DE_SET_MDL while holding the queue lock, so we can get
better performance.

A major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing, to split
the timing critical steps from the the deferrable steps as the sending XPU on
the CX23418 will time out and overwrite our incoming mailboxes rather quickly.
Setup a pool of work "order forms" for the irq handler to send jobs to the new
work handler routine which uses the kernel default work queue to do the
deferrable work. Started optimizing some of the cx18-io calls as they are now
the low hanging fruit for recoving microseconds back from the timeline.
Future optimizations will get rid of mmio read retries, mmio stats logging, and
combine smaller functions in the irq path into the larger ones to save ~2 us
each.

encountering a busy mailbox, sleep instead of polling, and wait for interrupt or

sending, and ensure we always have a method to cleanly recover from a busy
mailbox.

cx18: Have CX23418 release buffers at end of capture. The CX23418 reuses task
handles so we need to have it release the buffers associated with a task handle
at the end of a capture. If we don't, buffer ids used for one type of stream
in the driver (MPEG, TS, PCM), could be used for another type of stream by the
CX23418, if a previously used handle is assigned to a different type of stream.
The driver would drop valid buffers when this happened.
