Subject: [PATCH 0/8] media: v4l2: simplify compat ioctl handling

I have a series to remove all uses of compat_alloc_user_space()
and copy_in_user() from the kernel, this is the part of it that
involves the v4l2 compat code.

The resulting code is significantly shorter and arguably more
readable, but I have not done any testing beyond compilation on
it, so at the minimum this first needs to pass the test suite
for both native and compat users space.

Given the complexity of the code, I am fairly sure that there
are bugs I missed.

Please review and test if possible.
