sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so
the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
free the page.
Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This
fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a
constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.
There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

from /sys/modules to the driver

All accessor's different methods are now selected with C code and unused
ones statically optimized away at compile time instead of being selected
with #if's and #ifdef's. This has many advantages such as allowing the
compiler to validate the syntax of the whole code, making it cleaner and
easier to understand, and ultimately allowing people to define
configuration symbols in terms of variables if they really want to
dynamically support multiple bus configurations at the same time (with
the unavoidable performance cost).

Some chipsets have several problems when pci to pci transfers are activated
on overlay mode. the option no_overlay allows disabling such feature of
the driver, in favor of keeping the system stable.
The default is to use pcipci_fail flag defined on drivers/pci/quirks.c.
It also allows the user to override it by forcing disable overlay or forcing
enable. Forcing enable may generate PCI transfer corruption, including disk
mass corruption, so should be used with care.
Added a text description to this option and make messages looks the same at
both bttv and saa7134 drivers.

Add wss_cfg_4_3 and wss_cfg_16_9 configuration options.
Firmware 2623 or later required.
Both parameters are bit masks:
- bit 15: disable WSS
- bit 14: send short WSS burst, then turn off WSS
- bit 13..0: WSS bits as specified by the standard
These parameters are useful if you own a broken tv set which
does not handle wss correctly.
Default settings:
- wss_cfg_4_3: 0x4008
- wss_cfg_16_9: 0x0007
