Observation one: ->write_proc and ->data assignments aren't needed. Removed.
Observation two: codecs lists are unprotected. Patch doesn't fix this.
Observation three:
/proc/videocodecs printout is done to temporary _global_ buffer which
is freed in between. Consequently, two users hitting this file can
screwup each other.
Steps to reproduce:
modprobe videocodec
while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &
while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &
The fix is switching to seq_files, this removes code, especially some
line-length "logic".

struct video_device used to define a .hardware field. While
initialized on severl drivers, this field is never used inside V4L.
However, drivers using it need to include the old V4L1 header.
This seems to cause compilation troubles with some random configs.
Better just to remove it from all drivers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
