I can't help feeling that the split between core.c and hfi.c is a
remnant of a vidc driver supporting both HFI and pre-HFI with the same
v4l code.

What do you think about merging vidc_core with hfi_core and vidc_inst
with hfi_inst? Both seems to be in a 1:1 relationship.

The only reasonable argument I can come up with for not just exposing
these as global functions would be that there are 23 of them... Can we
skip the jump table?
