[PATCH] v4l: oopsfix for BTTV on badly behaved PCI chipsets

no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
(like some VIA) with these behaviors:

1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
   handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
   it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).

2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
   workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c

push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
With this insmod option you can override this.
no_overlay=1 Disable overlay. It should be used by broken
hardware that doesn't support PCI2PCI direct
transfers.
automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
no TV signal, on by default. You might try
to disable this if you have bad input signal
