[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 Thanks to Bodo Eggert <7eggert@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@brturbo.com.br> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

With this insmod option you can override this.
