Some (North American) providers use a non-standard mode called
"8psk turbo fec". Since there is no flag in the driver that
would allow an application to determine whether a particular
device can handle "turbo fec", the attached patch introduces
FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.
Since there is no flag in the SI data that would indicate
that a transponder uses "turbo fec", VDR will assume that
all 8psk transponders on DVB-S use "turbo fec".

In ISDB-S, time-devision duplex is used to multiplexing several waves
in the same frequency. Each wave is identified by its own transport
stream ID, or TS ID. We need to provide some way to specify this ID
from user applications to handle ISDB-S frontends.
This code has been tested with the Earthsoft PT1 driver.

This patch increments the DVB-API to version 5.1 in order to reflect the addition of ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb on Linux' DVB-API.
Changes in detail:
- added a small document to describe how to use the API to tune to an ISDB-T or ISDB-Tsb channel
- added necessary fields to dtv_frontend_cache
- added a smarter clear-cache function which resets all fields of the dtv_frontend_cache
- added a TRANSMISSION_MODE_4K to fe_transmit_mode_t

The attached patch adds a capability flag that allows an application
to determine whether a particular device can handle "second generation
modulation" transponders. This is necessary in order for applications
to be able to decide which device to use for a given channel in
a multi device environment, where DVB-S and DVB-S2 devices are mixed.
It is assumed that a device capable of handling "second generation
modulation" can implicitly handle "first generation modulation".
The flag is not named anything with DVBS2 in order to allow its
use with future DVBT2 devices as well (should they ever come).

After discussion the following changes were made:
1. Removed the typedefs in frontend.h, use structures.
2. In the frontend.h, remove the 16 command limit on the API and
switch to a flexible variable length API. For practical reasons
a #define limits this to 64, this should be discussed.
3. Changed dvb-core ioctl handing to deal with variable sequences
of commands.
tune-v0.0.3.c is required to use this API, it contains the interface changes.

This is an experimental patch to add a new tuning mechanism for
dvb frontends. Rather than passing fixed structures across the
user/kernel boundary, which need to be revised for each new modulation
type (or feature the kernel developers want to add), this implements
a simpler message based approach, allowing fe commands to be broken
down into a series of small fixed size transactions, presented
in an array.
The goal is to avoid changing the user/kernel ABI in the future, by
simply creating new frontend commands (and sequencies of commands) that
help us add support for brand new demodulator, delivery system or
statistics related commmands.
known issues:
checkpatch voilations
feedback from various developers yet to be implemented, relating
to namespace conventions, variable length array passing conventions,
and generally some optimization.
This patch should support all existing tuning mechanisms through the
new API, as well as adding 8PSK, DVB-S2 NBC-QPSK and ISDB-T API support.
For testing and exercise purposes, see the latest tune.c tool
available from http://www.steventoth.net/linux/s2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
