For sure we heed help from you guys :) About saa7114, we have already a
ported driver, called saa7115, that supports 7113, 7114 and 7115. We are
extending it to support also 7111. You may help us by changing zoran
driver to use saa7115 module. It is not really a big change.

As this API is depreciated, we are not accepting newer modules using it.

We intend also to include, for 2.6.17, an explicit option at Kconfig to
select V4L1 support, explaining that this is obsolete.
