This adds a single file, "unbind", to the sysfs directory of every
device that is currently bound to a driver. To unbind the driver from
the device, write anything to this file and they will be disconnected
from each other.

* bttv-driver.c, bttvp.h:
- New bttv module params:
- uv_ratio : allow a ratio of saturation between u and v. If you
have a ratio of 40 and a saturation of 100, usat will be 80 and
vstat 120. Useful to correct a bad color balance.
- full_luma_range : provide a better contrast in using the full
range 0-253 of values instead of 16-253.
- coring : to have a better black level.
- radio range is now defined on tuner-core.c. Cleaning up.
* bttvp.h:
- Fix gcc 4.0 compilation

get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io
context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can
only be created while in process context of the current process.
Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not
elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process
context, because the process holds a reference itself.

In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't
retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request.
Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've
done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it.
Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.
Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into
the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.

We add a check of the return value of tty_ldisc_ref(), which
is checked 7 out of 8 times, e.g.:
149 ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
150 if (ld != NULL) {
151 if (ld->set_termios)
152 (ld->set_termios)(tty, &old_termios);
153 tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
154 }
This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis
tool.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.
This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.
