Andy Walls ee2d64f5cc V4L/DVB (9720): cx18: Major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing
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.

Andy Walls d20ceecd0c V4L/DVB (9598): cx18: Prevent CX23418 from clearing it's outgoing ack interrupts to driver
When the CX23418 CPU unit sent out an ack interrupt to the linux driver, it
also received that interrupt and cleared the flag before the linux driver could
see what the interrupt was for.  This fix prevents the CPU from receiving an
IRQ for it's own outgoing ack's to the linux driver.  This fix is critical now
that the linux driver doesn't poll but relies on these ack interrupts.

Andy Walls 1d6782bda5 V4L/DVB (9516): cx18: Move DVB buffer transfer handling from irq handler to work_queue
cx18: Move DVB buffer transfer handling from irq handler to work_queue thread.
In order to properly lock the epu2cpu mailbox for driver to CX23418 commands,
the DVB/TS buffer handling needs to be moved from the IRQ handler and IRQ
context to a work queue.  This work_queue implmentation is strikingly similar
to the ivtv implementation - for better or worse.

Hans Verkuil 1c1e45d17b V4L/DVB (7786): cx18: new driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG encoder chip
Many thanks to Steve Toth from Hauppauge and Nattu Dakshinamurthy from
Conexant for their support. I am in particular thankful to Hauppauge
since without their help this driver would not exist. It should also
be noted that Steve did the work to get the DVB part up and running.
Thank you!
