Jarod Wilson a186b4a6b2 firewire: OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support
Third rendition of FireWire OHCI 1.0 Isochronous Receive support, using a
zer-copy method similar to OHCI 1.1 which puts the IR data payload directly
into the userspace buffer. The zero-copy implementation eliminates the
video artifacts, audio popping, and buffer underrun problems seen with
version 1 of this patch, as well as fixing a regression in OHCI 1.1 support
introduced by version 2 of this patch.

Successfully tested in OHCI 1.1 mode on the following chipsets:

- NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI)
- Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe)
- Ti TSB41AB2 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI on SB Audigy)
- Apple UniNorth 2 (rev 81), OHCI 1.1 (PowerBook G4 onboard)

Successfully tested in OHCI 1.0 mode on the following chipsets:

- Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (Mac Mini onboard)
- Agere FW323 (rev 06), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- Via VT6306 (rev 46), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- NEC OrangeLink (rev 01), OHCI 1.0 (PCI)
- NEC uPD72847 (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCI)
- Ti XIO2200(A) (rev 01), OHCI 1.1 (PCIe)

The bulk of testing was done in an x86_64 system, but was also successfully
sanity-tested on other systems, including a PPC(32) PowerBook G4 and an i686
EPIA M10k. Crude benchmarking (watching top during capture) puts the cpu
utilization during capture on the EPIA's 1GHz Via C3 processor around 13%,
which is down from 30% with the v1 code.

Some implementation details:

To maintain the same userspace API as dual-buffer mode, we set up two
descriptors for every incoming packet. The first is an INPUT_MORE descriptor,
pointing to a buffer large enough to hold just the packet's iso headers,
immediately followed by an INPUT_LAST descriptor, pointing to a chunk of the
userspace buffer big enough for the packet's data payload. With this setup,
each incoming packet fills in these two descriptors in a manner that very
closely emulates dual-buffer receive, to the point where the bulk of the
handle_ir_* code is now identical between the two (and probably primed for
some restructuring to share code between them).

The only caveat I have at the moment is that neither of my OHCI 1.0 Via
VT6307-based FireWire controllers work particularly well with this code
for reasons I have yet to figure out.
