    media: videobuf2: handle V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag · 1e0b2318

    This patch lets user-space to request a non-consistent memory
    allocation during CREATE_BUFS and REQBUFS ioctl calls.
    
    = CREATE_BUFS
    
      struct v4l2_create_buffers has seven 4-byte reserved areas,
      so reserved[0] is renamed to ->flags. The struct, thus, now
      has six reserved 4-byte regions.

     We use one bit of a ->reserved[1] member of struct v4l2_requestbuffers,
     which is now renamed to ->flags. Unlike v4l2_create_buffers, struct
     v4l2_requestbuffers does not have enough reserved room. Therefore for
     backward compatibility  ->reserved and ->flags were put into anonymous
     union.
