What:	Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.

When:	July 2006

Why:	V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6

	series. The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide enough

	means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API is

	already available on the main drivers and should be used instead.

	Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to handle

	old calls, replacing to newer ones.

	Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to

	communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow

	V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.
