The se401 driver is deprecated and is moved to staging. If no one will
convert this driver to V4L2, then it will be removed in 2.6.39.

<content type='text'>
All of the hard problems for BKL removal appear to be solved in the
v4l-dvb/master tree. This removes the BKL from the various open
functions that do not need it, or only use it to protect an
open count.

The zoran driver is nontrivial in this regard, so I introduce
a new mutex that locks both the open/release and the ioctl
functions. Someone with access to the hardware can probably
improve that by using the existing lock in all cases.

Finally, all drivers that still use the locked version of the
ioctl function now get called under a new mutex instead of
the BKL.

Fix all device drivers to use the new video_device_node_name function.

This also strips kernel log messages from the "/dev/" prefix, has the device
node location is a userspace policy decision unknown to the kernel.

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

Having fixed the sprintfs I decided a quick clean wouldn't do any harm so
it was actually easy to read in future.

<title>V4L/DVB (10138): v4l2-ioctl: change to long return type to match unlocked_ioctl.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:069b747931f13eda289c1d59a09ecc8162281a76</id>
<content type='text'>
Since internal to v4l2 the ioctl prototype is the same regardless of it
being called through .ioctl or .unlocked_ioctl, we need to convert it all
to the long return type of unlocked_ioctl.

Thanks to Jean-Francois Moine for posting an initial patch for this and
thus bringing it to our attention.

<content type='text'>
Introduce a struct v4l2_file_operations for v4l2 drivers.

Remove the unnecessary inode argument.

Move compat32 handling (and llseek) into the v4l2-dev core: this is now
handled in the v4l2 core and no longer in the drivers themselves.

Note that this changeset reverts an earlier patch that changed the return
type of__video_ioctl2 from int to long. This change will be reinstated
later in a much improved version.

The inode argument was never used. Removing it from video_usercopy
brings the function pointer type of video_usercopy in line with similar
v4l2 functions, thus simplifying several drivers.

<title>V4L/DVB (9327): v4l: use video_device.num instead of minor in video%d</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c6330fb86fd0fed98b7e0d5792881a77b778fefc</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel number of a v4l2 node (e.g. videoX, radioX or vbiX) is now
independent of the minor number. So instead of using the minor field
of the video_device struct one has to use the num field: this always
contains the kernel number of the device node.

I forgot about this when I did the v4l2 core change, so this patch
converts all drivers that use it in one go. Luckily the change is
trivial.
