Subject: [RFC 0/4] V4L2 file handles and event interface

Hi,

Here's the first version of the V4L2 file handle and event interface 
patchset. I posted it as RFC since there are a few issues with the 
contents and I have no assurrances that this even is functional at the 
moment.

The first patch adds the V4L2 file handle support and the rest are for 
V4L2 events.

A few notes on the patches:

- I don't like the locking too much. Perhaps the file handle specific 
lock (events->lock) could be dropped in favour of the lock for 
v4l2_file_handle in video_device.

- Event queue depth is not controlled at the moment.

- (Un)subscribing all events is not supported.

Comments are very welcome.

Cheers,
