videodev2.h contains just the V4L2 API structs and defines.
By allowing this header file to be dual GPL/BSD will enable sharing
userspace apps between Linux and *BSD systems. It will also allow developing
newer BSD licensed drivers that can be shared on Linux and *BSD.
It should be noticed that most of the current V4L drivers, and v4l core
itself are GPL only. This won't be changed by this patch.

The direct register access ioctls were defined as kernel internal only,
but they are very useful for debugging hardware from userspace and are
used as such. Officially export them.
VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER is renamed to VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER
Definition of ioctl and struct v4l2_register is moved from v4l2-common.h
to videodev2.h.
Types used in struct v4l2_register are changed to the userspace
exportable versions (u32 -> __u32, etc).
Use of VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission, so move
the check into the video_ioctl2() dispatcher so it doesn't need to be
duplicated in each driver's call-back function. CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is
added to pvrusb2 (which doesn't use video_ioctl2).

There's a problem, pointed by Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee>, that, on ppc32 arch,
with some gcc versions (noticed with prerelease 4.1.2 20061115), compilation
fails, due the lack of __ucmpdi2 to do the required 64-bit comparision.

VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES and VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMEINTERVALS ioctls are meant

Better to keep it marked as experimental, until we have several kernel drivers

The VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP needs to receive the v4l2_buf_type field before
it can return a result. Hence this ioctl must be IOWR, not IOR. Since this
ioctl is still marked experimental we can make this change.

V4L1 support should be disabled when no CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is defined,
to allow checking for broken V4L2 ports. This is very important during the
migration phase for V4L2 API.
However, userspace apps should be capable of using both APIs, since they need
to test at runtime, via VIDIOCGCAP ioctl, if V4L1 is supported. So, when
__KERNEL__ is not defined, those ioctls and corresponding structs should be
visible.
This patch also removes the obsolete defines HAVE_V4L1 and HAVE_V4L2, that
where causing some confusion, and were replaced by CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2.

u64 is aligned as 128bits on x86_64 architetures, requiring an special
