[PATCH] cafe_ccic: default to allocating DMA buffers at probe time

2007-09-18 Thread Andres Salomon
By default, we allocate DMA buffers when actually reading from the video capture device. On a system with 128MB or 256MB of ram, it's very easy for that memory to quickly become fragmented. We've had users report having 30+MB of memory free, but the cafe_ccic driver is still unable to allocate DM
