Looking at the pwc buffer management code has made it clear to me it needed
some serious fixing. Not only was there a ton of code duplication even
internally to pwc (read and mmap wait for frame code was duplicated), the
code also was outright buggy. With the worst offender being dqbuf, which
just round robin returned all the mmap buffers, without paying any attention
to them being queued by the app with qbuf or not. And qbuf itself was a noop.
So I set out to fix this and already had some cleanups in place when
I read Jonathan Corbet's lwn article on videobuf2, this inspired me to just
rip out the buffer management code and replace it with videobuf2, greatly
reducing the amount of code, and fixing all bugs in one go:
Many thanks to Jonathan for the timely article on this !

Remove the V4L1 API from this driver, making it fully V4L2.
Also fix a bug where the /dev/videoX device was created too early, which led
to initialization problems of the camera, making it unable to capture video.

V4L1 API is depreciated and should be removed soon from kernel. This patch
adds two new options, one to disable V4L1 drivers, and another to disable
V4L1 compat module. This way, it would be easy to check what still depends
on V4L1 stuff, allowing also to test if app works fine with V4L2 only support.
