This patch updates the MAINTAINERS entries for the media drivers.

We are doing a few changes during 2009 to improve patch handling for
drivers/media stuff.

Currently, v4l-dvb-maintainer list at linuxtv.org were used to to be v4l/dvb
driver maintainers ML, in order to keep track of patch merge requests and to
receive bug fixes. This list allows posting for everybody, but, in order to
avoid spam, the user subscribe/unsubscribe at the ML is moderated. Other
development discussions and end-user forums happened on two separated ML (one
for V4L and another for DVB).

At the beginning of 2009, we've created linux-media@vger.kernel.org, meaning to
be the main upstream development mailing list for drivers/media, including V4L
and DVB core and drivers.

The choice for vger.kernel.org were due to the fact that most of upstream lists
are there. Also, its anti-spam filtering rules are better than what we
currently have at linuxtv.org.

For now, both video4linux-list and linux-dvb ML will remain active, but more
focused on end users. It is expected that those lists will gradually be
replaced also by linux-media@vger.kernel.org.

This patch reflect those changes at linux MAINTAINERS file.

Since the development and bug fix discussions will now happen at
linux-media@vger.kernel.org, this patch does the following changes

	- replaces v4l-dvb-maintainer ML for the new
	  linux-media@vger.kernel.org;

	- replaces video4linux ML for the new linux-media@vger.kernel.org;

While here, it also:

	- Fixes the existing -git tree entries for drivers/media (since the
          repository name changed);

	- Adds the missing drivers/media -git tree entry on a few maintainers
          entries that don't point to a tree.

As Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> reported, cx88 has some compilation issues:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cx88_call_i2c_clients':
(.text+0x20af17): undefined reference to `videobuf_dvb_get_frontend'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cx8802_probe':
cx88-mpeg.c:(.devinit.text+0x268c4): undefined reference to `videobuf_dvb_alloc_frontend'
cx88-mpeg.c:(.devinit.text+0x268ea): undefined reference to `videobuf_dvb_dealloc_frontends'

With those configs:

CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_BLACKBIRD=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_DVB=m
CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m

After carefully examining the code, with the current code, several cx88 drivers
(cx8800, cx8802, cx88_dvb and cx88_blackbird) should be compiled as a module,
if one of them is marked as such. Just fixing Kconfig could create a very complex
set of rules. Also, this hides a problem with the current approach where the dvb
functionality weren't confined inside dvb module.

What happens is that:
	- cx88-i2c (part of cx8800) has some special rules if DVB;
	- cx88-mpeg (cx8802 module) has also part of DVB init code;
	- cx88-dvb has the rest of the dvb code;
	- cx88-blackbird can be used with cx88-mpeg, having cx88-dvb or not.

So, instead of doing some tricks at Kconfig and wait for a next breakage,
this patch moves the dvb code inside cx88-i2c and cx88-mpeg into cx88-dvb.

Another problem is that cx8802 were being compiled, even without cx88-dvb
and cx88-blackbird modules.

While on this code, let's fix also a reported problem:
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-January/031225.html

A solution for the issue were proposed here:

Due to changeset ba84be23 ("remove
linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h") the sparc64 build started
failing on drivers/base/topology.c:

  drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_physical_package_id’:
  drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_data’
  drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: request for member ‘proc_id’ in something not a structure or union
  drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_core_id’:
  drivers/base/topology.c:106: error: request for member ‘core_id’ in something not a structure or union

Adding the obvious fix of including asm/cpudata.h into asm/topology.h on
sparc64 doesn't fix it, in fact it makes things worse because of the
header file dependency chain:

	linux/gfp.h --> linux/mmzone.h --> linux/topology.h -->
	asm/topology.h --> asm/cpudata.h --> linux/percpu.h -->
	linux/slab.h

which results in:

  include/linux/slub_def.h: In function ‘kmalloc_large’:
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: implicit declaration of function ‘__get_free_pages’
  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: ‘__GFP_COMP’ undeclared (first use in this function)

  include/linux/slub_def.h:209: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

The simplest thing to do is to add yet another one-off hack like parts
of the guilty changeset did, by putting an explicit linux/hardirq.h
include into drivers/base/topology.c

I often change single options in .config files. Instead of using
an editor or one of the frontends it's convenient to do this from
the command line. It's also useful to do from automated build scripts
when building different variants from a base config file.

I extracted most of the CONFIG manipulation code from one of my
build scripts into a new shell script scripts/config

The script is not integrated with the normal Kconfig machinery
and doesn't do any checking against Kconfig files, but just manipulates
that text format. This is always done at make time anyways.

I believe this script would be a useful standard addition for scripts/*

Sample usage:

./scripts/config --disable smp
Disable SMP in .config file

./scripts/config --file otherdir/.config --module e1000e
Enable E1000E as module in otherdir/.config

./scripts/config --state smp
y
Check state of config option CONFIG_SMP

Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script:
Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized.

The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels
mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess.

This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider,
so more will fit.
The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a
much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se
readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG
viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

make: *** [all] Error 2

where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes).  Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.

The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.

There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts

As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.
