I didn't test the patches, but, from a source code review, they seem
on a good shape. I did a few comments on some patches. There are a few
missing features for them to be used with real drivers:

1) it lacks implementation of read() method. This means that vivi driver
has a regression, as it currently supports it.

2) it lacks OVERLAY mode. We can probably mark this feature as deprecated,
avoiding the need of implementing it on videobuf2, but we need a patch
for Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt,  in order to allow the
migration of the existing drivers like bttv and saa7134, where this feature
is implemented, of course if people agree that this is the better way;

3) it lacks the implementation of videobuf-dvb;

4) it lacks an implementation for DMA S/G.

We need to address all the above issues, in order to use it, otherwise the
migration of existing drivers would cause regressions, as features will be
missing.

Cheers,
Mauro.
