I received feedback, which I've been working on, and have converted to a new 
patch against the baseline tree without this patch applied. I can obviously 
rebase (thanks, git!) so that it applies on top of this patch. It massively 
cleans up the code, fixes a bug, and removes the in-kernel format conversion 
(we use libv4l here anyway, so it's not needed)

I have one more work item, requested by Andy and Hans, and that's to convert 
just the YUV capture from videobuf to vb2, so that when Andy's got spare time 
again, it'll be easier for him to convert the whole driver. I've been delayed 
on this by other work committments, but I do have this on my schedule.

How do you want me to proceed?
