After this patch I would like to see a patches adding support for this to
vicodec and vivid. For vivid it might be a good idea to mix this: say
the video output remains at 32 buffers, but video capture can do more.

And the swradio device should be able to handle quite a lot more (try
1024 there) since these buffers are quite small (32 kB).

The vicodec driver can increase it to 64, just as the verisilicon driver
does.

This makes it easy to do compliance testing for this new feature.

Regards,

Hans
