Perhaps it is also time to mark the videodev2.h _OLD ioctls for removal in
2.6.39?
If we are getting rid of old stuff anyway, then this will also be a nice
cleanup.
Perhaps we can even delete it without marking it for removal. After all,
removing it will only affect binaries compiled against a *really* old kernel
(I suspect 2.5.something). Anything that has been recompiled will automatically
use the correct ioctls.

Hans
