The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

The current s626 comedi driver in staging conflicts with philips SAA7146
media/dvb based cards, because it claims the same vendor:device pci id
for all subdevice/subvendor ids. What happens is that for people that have a
philips SAA7146 media/dvb based card, s626 if available gets loaded by udev
and makes system freeze (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51445).
The s626 driver shouldn't claim all 1131:7146 devices. Fix this by
specifying specific known subvendor:subdevice ids in its pci id table
list.
Also s626_attach is modified to use now pci_get_subsys instead of
pci_get_device as reported by Ian Abbott, and now we loop over pci id
table entries in case more ids are added in the future.

The k80xx module was completely revised again. The update contains the
following new main features:
- support for digital input
- support for digital output
- support for pulse counters
- support up to 16 boards (by the way, the windows driver and the k8055
library (libk8055) has support for only 4 boards)
The driver can now manage all features what the board has to offer:
- analog input/output
- digital input/output
- pulse counters (read, reset, set debounce time)
I've also fixed some mistaken in the drivers source code/logic.
By testing all of the driver features i got no errors or something else.
The driver works fine....
