This was done to handle a number of conflicts in the batman-adv
and winbond drivers properly. It also now allows us to fix up the sysfs
attributes properly that were not in the .37 release due to them being
only in this tree at the time.

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.
Remove this too as a cleanup.

The easycap driver has module parameters (bars, gain, & debug)
with global scope that intrude on the kernel namespace and cause
build problems. Change the names of them to be driver-specific
and make 2 of them static.
drivers/built-in.o:(.bss+0x97c00): multiple definition of `debug'
ld: Warning: size of symbol `debug' changed from 58 in arch/x86/built-in.o to 4 in drivers/built-in.o

No locking is required for normal operation of the driver, but locking
is needed to prevent an Oops during some hot-unplugging scenarios. The
BKL is replaced here by mutex locks together with traps to detect null
pointers following asynchronous device disconnection.

A new module parameter adjusts the gain of the AC'97 audio chip, if
one is present. Attenuation as well as amplification should be possible
according to the datasheet, but attenuation seems not to work yet.

A new module parameter turns on the option of displaying a testcard when
the analogue input signal is lost (more precisely: when the hardware
detects no field/frame synchronization). This feature has been requested
in the context of security cameras used at night.

Sometimes at startup the video urbs consistently and persistently deliver
bad data, each video frame (not isoc frame) containing an excess of
precisely two bytes. A brute-force cure implemented here is to
repeatedly reinitialize the registers of the SAA7113H chip and the
STK1160 USB bridge until good behaviour is obtained.

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.
The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.
