This ^^^^ doesn't belong in this patch.

I'd use %d since fds are typically shown as signed integers.

You don't need the #ifdef's here. media_request_ioctl_new() will be stubbed if
CONFIG_MEDIA_REQUEST_API isn't set.

Hmm, I probably call this VIDIOC_CREATE_REQUEST (analogous to CREATE_BUFS).
Ditto struct media_create_request and MEDIA_IOC_CREATE_REQUEST.

I'm still not convinced this is the right approach (as opposed to using the media
device node). I plan to dig deeper into the data structures tomorrow morning.
