cx18: Adjust outgoing mailbox timeouts and remove statistics logging.
This saves some wasted storage in struct cx18 for each card. Cutting
the outgoing mailbox timeouts in half from the previous value appears to
be safe with MythTV. Got rid of interrupted case code path after
a wait uninterruptable returns.

Remove unnecessary MMIO accesses in time critical irq handling path. Also
ensured that the mailbox ack field is read in last, so we know for sure if we
have a stale mailbox or not on receipt.

cx18: Streamline cx18-io[ch] wrappers and enforce MMIO retry strategy so that
write retries always occur and read retries never occur (as they never help).
Remove MMIO statistics logging to speed up MMIO accesses. Deprecate & ignore
retry_mmio and mmio_ndelay module parameters, to essentially force
retry_mmio=1 and mmio_ndelay=0.

A major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing, to split
the timing critical steps from the the deferrable steps as the sending XPU on
the CX23418 will time out and overwrite our incoming mailboxes rather quickly.
Setup a pool of work "order forms" for the irq handler to send jobs to the new
work handler routine which uses the kernel default work queue to do the
deferrable work. Started optimizing some of the cx18-io calls as they are now
the low hanging fruit for recoving microseconds back from the timeline.
Future optimizations will get rid of mmio read retries, mmio stats logging, and
combine smaller functions in the irq path into the larger ones to save ~2 us
each.

When the CX23418 CPU unit sent out an ack interrupt to the linux driver, it
also received that interrupt and cleared the flag before the linux driver could
see what the interrupt was for. This fix prevents the CPU from receiving an
IRQ for it's own outgoing ack's to the linux driver. This fix is critical now
that the linux driver doesn't poll but relies on these ack interrupts.

All waits for cx18 mailbox API commands are now uninterruptable. Added
code to collect mailbox ack statistics. Tweaked timeouts based on collected
stats and video vertical frame and field rates.

cx18: Reduce number of mmio read retries to improve performance. Experiments
have shown 2 things: read retries never improve the result of a suspect mmio
read from the CX23418 (the result stays all 0xff's), and that most of the
suspected read failures are actually proper reads of values that should be
all 0xff's. This change reduces the number of read retries and keeps the
count separate from write retries.

cx18: Fix write retries for registers that always change - part 2.
Some registers, especially interrupt related ones, will never read
back the value just written. Modified interrupt register readback
checks to make sure the intended effect was achieved.

cx18: Disable write retries for registers that always change - part 1.
Interrupt related registers will likely not read back the value we just wrote.
Disable retries for these registers for now to avoid accidently discarding
interrupts. More intelligent read back verification criteria are needed for
these and other registers (e.g. GPIO line registers), which will be addressed in
subsequent changes.

cx18: Add default behavior of checking and retrying PCI MMIO accesses.
The concept of checking and retrying PCI MMIO accesses for better reliability
in older motherboards was suggested by Steve Toth <stoth@linuxtv.org>. This
change implements MMIO retries and the retry_mmio module parameter that is
enabled by default. Limited experiments have shown this is more reliable than
the mmio_ndelay parameter. mmio_ndelay has insignificant effect with retries
enabled.

cx18: Increment u8 pointers not void pointers. Incrementing void pointers
is dubious and the real intent in cx18_memcpy_fromio() and cx18_memset_io() is
to increment by bytes, so use u8 pointers instead.

cx18: Throttle mmio to/from the CX23418 so boards work in older systems. The
CX23418 couldn't reliably handle mmio at the rate at which the cx18 driver was
attempting to access the chip. The PCI bridge arrangements and settings on
modern motherboards still allowed the CX23418 to work OK, but it didn't work
well on many older motherboards: mysterious I2C errors, firmware loading errors,
etc. This patch adds a throttle to *all* mmio access to the CX23418. It
defaults to a delay of 31 ns, but is adjustable by the mmio_ndelay module parm.
My HVR-1600 and Raptor PAL/SECAM card now function for analog capture on a
motherboard with an Intel 82810E Northbridge and 82801AA Southbridge.

cx18: Create cx18_ specific wrappers for all pci mmio accessesors. This is a
first step in instrumenting all CX23418 PCI bus IO, to debug problems with
accessing the CX23418's PCI memory mapped IO.
