I've just noticed that a hole left in the recent changes which should
allow the usb v4l drivers to unregister with open file handles.  The
drivers itself handle it just fine, but video_generic_ioctl() will barf
when called on unregistered devices.  Oops.

One way to fix this is to expect drivers call the helper function and
pass a pointer for the function doing the actual work, i.e. handle it
this way:

driver_ioctl(inode,file,cmd,userptr)
	-> video_usercopy(inode,file,cmd,userptr,func)
		copy_from_user(...)
		-> func(inode,file,cmd,kernelptr);
		copy_to_user(...)

Patch against 2.5.7-pre2 below. It updates videodev.[ch] and adapts
usbvideo.c to show how the driver changes will look like.

Note that this change makes the usercopy helper function a very generic
one, it probably could be used for other drivers to (as long as the API
has sane magic numbers based on _IO*(...) defines) as there is no
video4linux-related stuff in there any more.  So we might think of
renaming it an moving it to some more central place (fs/ioctl.c maybe).

Mostly from 2.4. Adds some new ones, and removes some dupes.

A few follow ups to the cleanup done circa 2.5.4

 From Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com>

I can't get UDF write support to work in kernel 2.5.7 or 2.5.7-pre2.
The problem is that linux/config.h is not included, so CONFIG_UDF_RW
is undefined and the driver is compiled without write support. This
patch fixes my problem:

Mostly harmless but 1-2 break compilation.

From: Michael Haardt <michael@moria.de> for 2.4, munged by me.

the MAD16 driver is able to enable/disable its gameport, but it does
not register it in the input subsystem.  The appended patch against
2.4.19-pre4 fixes that and also allows to enable to gameport via kernel
command line, not only when loaded as module.

Originally by Alan. It was in the 2.4-ac tree for ages, much tweaked
by myself and Thomas Hood. Its main purpose is for skipping the full
memory test and other time-wasting diagnostics on reboot.

Ancient patch from Jens to hush certain drives which generate a lot of
printk noise when playing DVDs.

Originally from Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>..

collect_sigign_sigcatch can race against exit_sighand.  I haven't been
able to reproduce it, but I think it causes the oops reported in the
'Kernel Hangs 2.4.16 on heavy io Oracle Tivolie TSM' thread.

Originally from Intel, has been around various vendor trees for a while.
Aparently worth a noticable speed up in some applications.

Originally from Anton Altaparmakov..

This causes errors from get_block() in block_read_full_page() to be
detected and handled properly (by setting page error flag).  Without the
patch the page (or parts of the page) will contain random data on
get_block() failing without any form of error being signalled which can
be catastrophic for filesystems using block_read_full_page() for
accessing their metadata.  And for normal data it would mean the user
would see random data instead of what they expected.

Various quirks from 2.4 and other sources.

Another 2.4 forward port, original from Andrew Morton.

These files use completion, but don't include header.

Another small change from 2.4

Add support for AMD Elan.
(More ELAN patches to follow which rely on CONFIG_MELAN)

Another forward port from 2.4
