From: Rene Herman <rene.herman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The old Mediavision Pro Movie Studio legacy ISA V4L1 driver was found to hang the boot during Ingo Molnar's testing of randconfig kernels. Have it require a "pms.enable=1" kernel parameter to enable the driver when builtin which avoids such problems. This is a deprecated and, very likely, unused driver. Nothing changes modular behaviour moreover.
