Mauro Carvalho Chehab fd3113e84e [PATCH] V4L: Miscellaneous fixes
- Fixed some bttv card numbers.

- BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes.

- pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which
  already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to
  pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c

- Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for
  saa7134-i2c.c

- It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c

- Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c

- Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c

- Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module:
  show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners.

- BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module:
  0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
  MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.
  VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still
  requiring IOCTL implementation.

- Added two more tuners.

- Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

Robert Love 0eeca28300 [PATCH] inotify
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

        * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
          that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
          open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
        * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
          directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
          the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
          stat structures.
        * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?

inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:

        * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
        * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
          you were watching is on was unmounted."
        * inotify can watch directories or files.

Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.
