Whenever a control changes value or state an event is sent to anyone
that subscribed to it.
This functionality is useful for control panels but also for applications
that need to wait for (usually status) controls to change value.

When an application changes a control you want to generate an event.
However, you want to avoid sending such an event back to the application
(file handle) that caused the change.
Add the filehandle to the various set control functions.
The filehandle isn't used yet, but the control event patches will need
this.

It is a bit tricky to handle autogain/gain type scenerios correctly. Such
controls need to be clustered and the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_UPDATE should be set on
the autofoo controls. In addition, the manual controls should be marked
inactive when the automatic mode is on, and active when the manual mode is on.
This also requires specialized volatile handling.
The chances of drivers doing all these things correctly are pretty remote.
So a new v4l2_ctrl_auto_cluster function was added that takes care of these
issues.

This patch adds the VENC or the Video encoder, which is responsible
for the blending of all source planes and timing generation for Video
modes like NTSC, PAL and other digital outputs. the VENC implementation
currently supports COMPOSITE and COMPONENT outputs and NTSC and PAL
resolutions through the analog DACs. The venc block is implemented
as a subdevice, allowing for additional external and internal encoders
of other kind to plug-in.

Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE
structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer.
Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of
_unspecified_ length. The compiler will simply append the string to statically
defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure
and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning
if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length.
Also, whilst we're at it:
(1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte
(name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX).
(2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in
size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.

Don't force output if you intend to reboot immediately.
In this patch, I'm disabling the functionality enabled by
vc->vc_panic_force_write if panic_timeout < 0 (i.e. no timeout).
vc_panic_force_write is only enabled for fb video consoles if the
FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag is set.
For our application, we're using ram_oops to preserved the panic in
memory. We want to reliably, and as fast as possible, machine_restart.
The vc_panic_force_write flag results in a bunch of graphics driver code
to be invoked which slows down restart and decreases reliability. Since
we're already storing the panic in RAM and are going to reboot
immediately, there is no benefit in mode switching back to the vc in
order to display the panic output. The log buffer will get flushed by
the console_unblank() call so remote management consoles should see all
output.

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.
The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.
With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.
It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.
The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.
