Restore backwards compatability with kernel version 2.6.13

Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net>

Retain backwards compatability with kernel versions prior to 2.6.15
(previous patch breaks 2.6.14, now fixed using compat.h)

Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net>

This is a hack to the makelinks script to prevent the build from failing
due to the fact that bttv.h is included in compat.h, which is needed by
drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.c

There is probably a better way to do this.

make links to compat.h where needed

add some comments to the scripts, and move the old convert.sh out of the way

- make the script create links to the "Documentation" directory, too

- remove "lib" directory, it's not used anymore

- compile and documentation fixes, enable bt8xx usb USB driver builds

there is no reason not to submit the bt8xx driver with the next patchset, right?

Some include fixes to make the code compile again both with
"build-2.4" and 2.5.70

I removed all "analog" drivers from the main CVS repository and moved them
to a separate "analog-2.4" directory. Main reasons:

- the drivers don't have anything to do with dvb 8-)

- the drivers are already in the kernel (besides the "Hexium" driver)
  and don't change that much any more

- the analog drivers rely on the i2c subsystem, which was heavily modified
  between 2.4 and 2.5. When making a new DVB patchset I have to work around
  these differences every time, which is very annoying

Remove the ttusb-* drivers from the makelinks script and the
build process again, due to the unknown licensing issues with
the firmware.

Add ttusb-dec and ttusb-budget.

Small fixes to make the driver compile with 2.5.66

A whole bunch of small changes all over the place:

makelinks: adjust the script for the upcoming kernel patches

driver.mxb: prevent the tuner module from probing unnecessary i2c addresses

getlinks: put symlinks for the header files to the right place(TM)

videodev.c: add a verbose error message just for the case that a user
 has compiled the v4l module into the kernel

media/Kconfig: the dpc driver does not the tuner module

saa7146_hlp.c: honour the swapped field order for av7110 based cards
 in capture mode, too

saa7146_video.c: add some verbose messages for the v4l2 controls

mxb.c: hopefully fix the detection and initialization of the sound arena module

many more portability changes

Small changes all over the place:
- sync Kconfig and Makefiles with 2.5.65
- fix various things in saa7146 because of latest v4l changes in 2.5.65

- makelinks: removed the compat module from the 2.5.x build process
- makelinks: removed the linkage of ttusb and bt8xx -- enable this again for
  the next patches, when ttusb is more stable and the bt8xx related patches
  have been applied by Gerd Knorr

- dvb: removed the compat module from the 2.5.x build process, added #ifdefs
  around the inclusion of compat.h. this was necessary because having compat
  code in the newest 2.5.x kernel is awkward.

- dvb: move around of dvb_usercopy again. because I removed the compat module
  from the 2.5.x build process, dvb_usercopy had to be moved to another file

- dvb: change MOD_*_USE_COUNT to module_get/module_put in various files,
  but I'm not sure if I did this right. please review these changes.

- dvb: removed the crc32 code from dvb_demux.c, because it's in compat.c, too.

- dvb: removed some cruft from dvd_i2c.c, which is present in compat.h

- all files: apply small fixes to reflect the new location of some header
  files

Fixes for 2.5.55 all over the place:

- removed the patches, they are not needed any more. you can now
  use a vanilla 2.5.55 kernel
- created a new backport for video-buf and videodev from the 2.5.55
  sources
- necessary fixes to the saa7146 driver due to changes in 2.5.55
- the core budget functions are now provided by a module called
  "budget-core.o". (otherwise static compilation is not possible...)
- removed #ifdef MODULE crap from all files

Misc.
- "xawtv" (using xv extension) resulted in wrong colors. the problem
  is within "xawtv". Gerd Knorr told me, that it'll be fixed in the
  next release.

I tested this version with 2.4.20, 2.5.55 (modules) and 2.5.55
(static).

Build fixes for 2.5.x, thank Gregoire Favre <greg@ulima.unil.ch>
for pointing out these flaws regularly...

Changes in detail:

- added comapt.[ch] again, but removed the *_usercopy() crap. We
define dvb_usercopy() until generic_usercopy() is available.
If you have an external source tree, please check what's actually
needed to get your application to compile and report back to me
or on the mailing list. Thanks!
(Necessary changes to the Makefile, and various dvb files, removed some
unnecessary #include <linux/videodev>)

- added linux/lib/Makefile. We need to add an include to
drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/Makefile.lib, so that crc32.o
gets build automagically
(Adjusted the "makelinks" script as well)

Next chunk of big splitup / cleanup:
(tested on 2.4.18 and 2.5.53 -- the budget driver is
untested, Holger will test it the next week)

saa7146:
- completely separated the saa7146 driver into a core-driver (saa7146.o) and
  a video/vbi part (saa7146_vv.o). this allows you to build the budget driver
  without av7110 and videodev bloat (see below)

The following thinks have been approved by Holger Waechtler:

av7110 (now ttpci):
- for 2.5.x: removed the av7110 directory and put everything into ttpci.
- removed all budget card support from this driver
- compile and build fixes for the saa7146 changes

ttpci-budget (new):
- for 2.5.x: created a new ttpci-budget directory, added a new driver for
  the budget cards

mxb:
- compile and build fixes for the saa7146 changes

Changed the build and compile files for both 2.5.x and build-2.4 of course...

Major cleanup: the goal is to get rid of the budget card <=> saa7146.o <=> videodev.o dependency,
so we can later split up the av7110 driver into a av7110 and budget card driver.

I tested this on 2.4.18-3 (original RedHat 7.3 kernel) and 2.5.53.

Changes in detail:

saa7146:
- fixed the unitialised timer warnings
- split saa7146.o into saa7146.o and saa7146_vv.o:
  all videodev (ie. v4l) related stuff is now encapsulated in saa7146_vv.o.
  the extension (ie. mxb or dvb-ttpci) now has to make sure to register the v4l
  devices via helper functions provided by saa7146_vv

mxb:
- changes to make the driver compile with the new saa7146 and saa7146_vv parts
- fix the vbi bypass issue for MXBs with saa7146, rev. 1 card

av7110:
- changes to make the driver compile with the new saa7146 and saa7146_vv parts
- some changes related to the upcoming av7110 <=> budget splitup, but they are
  commented out
- changed the saa7146 PAL values to experimental values that look good to me, but
  kept the old values as a comment. where are the original values from? there is
  a big black border on most channels on the left side which annoyed me...
- changed from video/generic_usercopy() to dvb_usercopy() and put this into the
  source code, not into compat.c
- moved the crc_32* stuff from compat.c to the source file where it is used
- now compat.[ch] was removed completely, all references were deleted from
  all other files.

other:
- updated the README and TODO files
- changed "makelinks" to remove alps_bsru6 stuff from kernel when making the symlinks
- fixed the build files in "build-2.4"
- fixed all other files needed for 2.5.x kernel build

Remove saa* files from media/dvb/av7110 when making links, because
they are no longer needed.
