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 DMA buffers. Our workaround has been to make use of the 'alloc_bufs_at_load' parameter to allocate DMA buffers during device probing. This patch makes DMA buffer allocation happen during device probe by default, and changes the parameter to 'alloc_bufs_at_read'. The camera hardware is there, if the cafe_ccic driver is enabled/loaded it should do its best to ensure that the camera is actually usable; delaying DMA buffer allocation saves an insignicant amount of memory, and causes the driver to be much less useful.
