I agree with Mauro completely.  There is nothing userland should be
able to do which results in a panic (and I have no reason to believe
Pete was suggesting otherwise).  That said, it's really useful to know
that this is some sort of v4l1 backward compatibility problem.

I'll see if I can reproduce this here.
