While the speed of asynchronous transactions is automatically chosen by
the kernel, the speed of isochronous streams has to be chosen by the
initiating client.
In case of 1394a bus topologies, the maximum possible speed could be
figured out with some effort by evaluation of the remote node's link
speed field in the config ROM, the local node's link speed field, and
the PHY speeds and topologic information in the local node's or IRM's
topology map CSR. However, this does not work in case of 1394b buses.
Hence add an ioctl to export the maximum speed which the kernel already
determined.

This adds ioctls for allocation and deallocation of a channel or/and
bandwidth without auto-reallocation and without auto-deallocation.
The benefit of these ioctls is that libraw1394-style isochronous
resource management can be implemented without write access to the IRM's
character device file.

Subject: [Patch V4] Add ISO resource management support
with several changes to the ABI and implementation. Only the part of
the ABI which enables auto-reallocation and auto-deallocation is
included here.
This implements ioctls for kernel-assisted allocation of isochronous
channels and isochronous bandwidth. The benefits are:
- The client does not have to have write access to the /dev/fw* device
corresponding to the IRM.
- The client does not have to perform reallocation after bus resets.
- Channel and bandwidth are deallocated by the kernel if the file is
closed before the client deallocated the resources. Thus resources
are released even if the client crashes.
It is anticipated that future in-kernel code (firewire-core IRM code;
the firewire port of firedtv), will use the fw-iso.c portions of this
code too.

The FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_INFO ioctl looks at client->device->config_rom, not
at the local node's config ROM.
We could fix the implementation or the documentation. I believe the way
how it is currently implemented is more useful than the way how it is
currently documented. In fact, libdc1394 uses the ABI already as
implemented, not as documented. Hence let's change the documentation.

This duplicates the read cycle timer feature of raw1394 (added in Linux
2.6.21) in firewire-core's userspace ABI. The argument to the ioctl is
reordered though to ensure 32/64 bit compatibility.

The isochronous packet format is still not documented, but this
is a good first step.

The struct is part of the userspace interface and can not use
bitfields. This patch replaces the bitfields with a __u32 'control'
word and provides access macros to set the bits.
