Typically, bitstreams are composed of a sequence header,
followed by a number of picture header and picture coding extension
headers. Each picture can be composed of a number of slices.
Let's split the MPEG-2 uAPI to follow these semantics more closely,
allowing more usage flexibility. Having these controls split up
allows applications to set a sequence control at the beginning
of a sequence, and then set a picture control for each frame.
While here add padding fields where needed, and document
the uAPI header thoroughly.
Note that the V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_{} defines had to be moved because
it clashes with existing ones. This is not really an issue
since they will be re-defined when the controls are moved
out of staging.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
