Before the videobuf redesign, a procedure for re-using videobuf without PCI
scatter/gather where provided by changing the pci-dependent operations by
other operations.
With the newer approach, those methods are obsolete and can safelly be removed.

video-buf currently does two different tasks:
- Manages video buffers with a common code that allows
implementing all the V4L2 different modes of buffering;
- Controls memory allocations
While the first task is generic, the second were written to support PCI DMA
Scatter/Gather needs. The original approach can't even work for those
video capture hardware that don't support scatter/gather.
I did one approach to make it more generic. While the approach worked
fine for vivi driver, it were not generic enough to handle USB needs.
This patch creates two different modules, one containing the generic
video buffer handling (videobuf-core) and another with PCI DMA S/G.
After this patch, it would be simpler to write an USB video-buf and a
non-SG DMA module.
