Mauro,

Please revert this or keep it from going upstream.

It relies on at least on other patch by Tejun.  If this patch is
committed alone to the ivtv driver, it will break compilation of ivtv.

I'm OK with Tejun getting this patch committed upstream together with
his complete workqueue patchset.  Otherwise we''ll have some
coordination to go through when the workqueue patches go upstream.  That
could be hard for everyone, since my response time lately has been
rather slow.

Regards,
Andy
