When moving from one frontend to another
an application could spawn multiple threads opening
the same new frontend and in some circumstances all of
these could become delayed waiting for the previous
frontend readers or previous frontend writer thread to
complete.
In this scenario the first thread will succeed on open
to bring the new frontend online but any others will return
EBUSY. This is a fault. If the first succeeds and all others
are on the same frontend then they should succeed also.

This add frontend R/W mutual exclusion.
Prior to this point in time it was possible to open both
frontends simultaneously which an MFE card cannot support.
In order to stop this, a delayed open is performed which
has the following function:
- Return EBUSY after a configurable amount of time
if a frontend is unavailable due to the other being
in use.
- Only allow opening of a frontend if the kernel thread
of the other has stopped.
This solution was chosen to allow switching between
frontends to work as seamlessly as possible. When both
frontends are actually opened simultaneously then one
will only open, but if quick switching is performed
between one of many then the new open will succeed in
a clean fashion rather than interrupting a kernel
thread.

A detailed description from the original patches 2 years ago:
"The WinTV-HVR3000 has a single transport bus which is shared between
a DVB-T and DVB-S modulator. These patches build on the bus acquisition
cx88 work from a few weeks ago to add support for this.
So to applications the HVR3000 looks like this:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe0 (cx24123 DVB-S demod)
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe1 (cx22702 DVB-T demod)
Additional boards continue as before, eg:
/dev/dvb/adapter1/fe0 (lgdt3302 ATSC demod)
The basic change is removing the single instance of the videobuf_dvb in
cx8802_dev and saa7134_dev(?) and replacing it with a list and some
supporting functions.
*NOTE* This branch was taken before v4l-dvb was closed for 2.6.19 so
two or three current cx88 patches appear to be reversed by this tree,
this will be cleaned up in the near future. The patches missing change
the mutex handing to core->lock, fix an enumeration problem."
It should be recognised that a number of people have been maintaining
this patchset. Significant levels of Kudos to everyone one involved,
including but not limited to:
Darron Broad
Fabio M. Di Nitto
Carlo Scarfoglio
Hans Werner
Without the work of these people, and countless others, my two year old
patches would of died on the Mercurial linuxtv.org vine a long time
ago.
TODO: Revise these patches a little further so that the need for
demux1 and dvr0 is optional, not mandatory on the HVR3000.
HISTORY (darron):
This is the last update to MFE prepared by Hans which is based
upon the `scratchpad' diff created by Carlo.
All MFE work prior to that point must be attributed to Fabio
who ported and maintained Steve's original patch up to that
time.

Fixes switching from S2API to legacy where legacy params given to S2API
aware demods are cached ones and not those implied in the legacy API.
It was found (on an S2API aware demod at least) that after using
an S2API aware application and then switching to a legacy application
that prior S2API params were in effect were legacy has only
implied values. This fixes this.

Remove tuner_callback pointers from tuner driver configuration
and private state structures, replaced with a general-purpose
callback pointer within struct dvb_frontend.
A new parameter is added to the callback function, called
component. This allows us to use this callback pointer by
frontend components other than the tuner, if need be. So
far, this is only used by tuner drivers.

For demod drivers, we want a single tuning function (set_frontend) to have
access to the properly constructed dvb_frontend_parameters structure, or
the cache values - regardless of whether the legacy or new API is being used.
This cuts down on redundant code in the demod drivers and ensures the
tuning parameters are consistent regardless of the API entry type.

After discussion the following changes were made:
1. Removed the typedefs in frontend.h, use structures.
2. In the frontend.h, remove the 16 command limit on the API and
switch to a flexible variable length API. For practical reasons
a #define limits this to 64, this should be discussed.
3. Changed dvb-core ioctl handing to deal with variable sequences
of commands.
tune-v0.0.3.c is required to use this API, it contains the interface changes.

SET_TONE and SET_VOLTAGE were not previously implemented. Two options
existed. Either cut/paste from the previous ioctl handler into the
process_properties function, which is code duplication. Or, split
the current ioctl handler into it's two major pieces.
Piece 1, responsible for input validation and semaphore acquiring
Piece 2 the processing of the previous ioctls
and finally, a new third pieces where the array of properties
is processed, and can freely call the legacy ioctl handler without
having to re-acquire the fepriv->sem semaphore. This is a clean approach
and ensures the existing legacy ioctls are processed as they were previously
(but with an extra function call) and allows the new API to share code
without duplication.

This is an experimental patch to add a new tuning mechanism for
dvb frontends. Rather than passing fixed structures across the
user/kernel boundary, which need to be revised for each new modulation
type (or feature the kernel developers want to add), this implements
a simpler message based approach, allowing fe commands to be broken
down into a series of small fixed size transactions, presented
in an array.
The goal is to avoid changing the user/kernel ABI in the future, by
simply creating new frontend commands (and sequencies of commands) that
help us add support for brand new demodulator, delivery system or
statistics related commmands.
known issues:
checkpatch voilations
feedback from various developers yet to be implemented, relating
to namespace conventions, variable length array passing conventions,
and generally some optimization.
This patch should support all existing tuning mechanisms through the
new API, as well as adding 8PSK, DVB-S2 NBC-QPSK and ISDB-T API support.

This change addresses kernel bug #10459: In kernel 2.6.25 the
budget_av driver polls for an CI slot in 100ms intervals (because no
interrupt solution for budget_av cards is feasible due to HW reasons).
If no CI/CAM is connected to the DVB card, polling times out only after 250ms.
This periodic polling leads to high CPU load.
The change increases the polling interval for empty slots from 100ms to 5s.
Intervals for remaining slot states (invalid, in progress, ready) are unchanged,
as they are either temporary conditions or no timeout should occur.
