cx18: Add module parameters for finer control over buffer allocations.
User now has the option of setting smaller buffers to get lower
latency transfers from the encoder. User can also now set the number
of buffers used for a stream explicitly.

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: Use default kernel work queue; fix streaming flag for work handler.
Eliminate cx18 specific work queue and use the kernel default work queue.
Fixed the F_STREAMING_FLAG for the TS stream so cx18_dvb_work_handler()
can know when it is not safe to send MDLs to the firmware.

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: Create cx18_ specific wrappers for all pci mmio accessesors. This is a
first step in instrumenting all CX23418 PCI bus IO, to debug problems with
accessing the CX23418's PCI memory mapped IO.

This is a fix for the case when a digital capture from dvr0 happens first after
modprobe, before access to any cx18 v4l2 device nodes. The initial dvb feed
start has been changed to load the firmware if not already loaded. Also fixed a
use counter to correct dvb feed accounting if starting the transport DMA fails.

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!
