cx18: Avoid making firmware API calls with the queue lock held. The source
of MPEG strem corruption when not holding the queue lock was found to be that
the MPEG buffer could be retrieved by the user app before it was sync'ed for
the host cpu. Incoming buffers are now sync'ed before being put on q_full and
releasing the queue lock. We can thus avoid the sometimes lengthy call to
the firmware for CPU_DE_SET_MDL while holding the queue lock, so we can get
better performance.

cx18: Allow more than 63 capture buffers in rotation per stream. Implement
q_busy to hold buffers the firmware has for use. q_free holds truly unused
buffers in a pool. New buffers are given to the firmware as soon as the
firmware returns one, if there are any to give to the firmware.

Eliminate q_io from stream buffer handling in anticipation of upcoming
changes in buffer handling. q_io was a holdover from ivtv and it's function
in cx18 was trivial and not necessary. We just push things back onto the
front of q_full now, instead of maintaining a 1 buffer q_io queue.

Convert the per stream queue spinlocks into mutexes. All queue
manipulation happens via the work queue or system calls into the driver, and
not in an interrupt context. This reduces the amout of time the cx18 driver
keeps interrupts disabled.

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.

cx18: Move DVB buffer transfer handling from irq handler to work_queue thread.
In order to properly lock the epu2cpu mailbox for driver to CX23418 commands,
the DVB/TS buffer handling needs to be moved from the IRQ handler and IRQ
context to a work queue. This work_queue implmentation is strikingly similar
to the ivtv implementation - for better or worse.

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: Simplify queue flush logic to prevent oops in cx18_flush_queues().
If accounting of a queue is in error, logic borrowed from ivtv will cause
an oops when flushing the queues for a stream. This change greatly
simplifies the queue flush logic, and sets the queue back to sane
defaults on a flush.

it's global functions
- make the following needlessly global functions static:

- cx18-fileops.c:cx18_release_stream()
- cx18-queue.c:cx18_queue_move()

Many thanks to Steve Toth from Hauppauge and Nattu Dakshinamurthy from
Conexant for their support. I am in particular thankful to Hauppauge
since without their help this driver would not exist. It should also
be noted that Steve did the work to get the DVB part up and running.
Thank you!
