The V4L2 ML is fairly limited. I'm pretty sure it can't handle the ivtv
change (70+ kB). I can do this for the two changes that actually add the
new code and for one of the i2c conversion tonight (this webmail client
messes up the layout).

Personally I dislike reviewing large patches that are part of an email.
Smaller ones are OK, but large patches are hard to read. Much easier to
review with a decent editor.

I'll add the linux-omap mailinglist when I repost tonight.
