For the changing-in-place method, is there already an exported API that exposes change_page_attr_set without first
calling reserve_memtype? I can't seem to find one.

I guess this would require a lock so that the ivtv-driver proper wasn't accessing the decoder's mapped memory 
during ivtvfb's iounmap-ioremap window. And a way to notify ivtv-driver proper if things go wrong? I think this method
would be very awkward because its not even memory owned by ivtvfb itself.
