I can defer the changes a bit to see if you'd really much prefer
the former interface.  I think for now the most important thing is
that it works properly for the potential users, and the prime one is
videobuf2 for now.  drm also seems like a big potential users, but I
had a really hard time getting the developers to engage in API
development.
