[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directory
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory. Thanks-to: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

+
+ <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">memory
+mapping</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
+buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
+&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
+
+ <para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
+ of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with
+&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
+<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
+ field. Valid index numbers range from zero
+to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
+ (&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
+The <structfield>reserved</structfield> field should to set to 0.
+When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the
+<structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an
+array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has
+to be set to the number of elements in that array.
+After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
+ this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
+the structure.</para>
+
+ <para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
+<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current
+I/O method. For the single-planar API, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
+contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
+the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. For the multi-planar API,
+fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and
+<structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield>
+array elements will be used instead. The driver may or may not set the remaining
+fields and flags, they are meaningless in this context.</para>
+
+ <para>The <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> structure is
+ specified in <xref linkend="buffer" />.</para>
