[media] doc-rst: split media_drivers.rst into one file per API type

Just like the uAPI book is split into parts, let's split the
kAPI documentation. That should make easier to maintain, and
will split the final documentation into smaller html files.

+Digital TV Frontend kABI
+------------------------
+
+Digital TV Frontend
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Digital TV Frontend kABI defines a driver-internal interface for
+registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent
+frontend layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers.
+The header file for this API is named dvb_frontend.h and located in
+drivers/media/dvb-core.
+
+Before using the Digital TV frontend core, the bridge driver should attach
+the frontend demod, tuner and SEC devices and call dvb_register_frontend(),
+in order to register the new frontend at the subsystem. At device
+detach/removal, the bridge driver should call dvb_unregister_frontend() to
+remove the frontend from the core and then dvb_frontend_detach() to free the
+memory allocated by the frontend drivers.
+
+The drivers should also call dvb_frontend_suspend() as part of their
+handler for the &device_driver.suspend(), and dvb_frontend_resume() as
+part of their handler for &device_driver.resume().
+
+few other optional functions are provided to handle some special cases.

+Digital TV Demux kABI
+---------------------
+
+Digital TV Demux
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Kernel Digital TV Demux kABI defines a driver-internal interface for
+registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent
+demux layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers.
+The header file for this kABI is named demux.h and located in
+drivers/media/dvb-core.
+
+The demux kABI should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is
+used to select the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources.
+When the demux client allocates a resource via the demux kABI, it receives
+a pointer to the kABI of that resource.
+
+Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as
+set via this demux kABI. In a system with more than one front-end, the kABI
+can be used to select one of the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux,
+unless this is fixed in the HW platform.
+
+The demux kABI only controls front-ends regarding to their connections with
+demuxes; the kABI used to set the other front-end parameters, such as
+tuning, are devined via the Digital TV Frontend kABI.
+
+The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined
+static or module private and registered to the Demux core for external
+access. It is not necessary to implement every function in the struct
+&dmx_demux. For example, a demux interface might support Section filtering,
+but not PES filtering. The kABI client is expected to check the value of any
+function pointer before calling the function: the value of NULL means
+that the function is not available.
+
+Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the
+possibilities of lost update and race condition problems should be
+addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with mutexes.
+
+Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep.
+Even a simple memory allocation without using %GFP_ATOMIC can result in a
+kernel thread being put to sleep if swapping is needed. For example, the
+Linux Kernel calls the functions of a network device interface from a
+bottom half context. Thus, if a demux kABI function is called from network
+device code, the function must not sleep.
+
+
+
+Demux Callback API
+------------------
+
+Demux Callback
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This kernel-space API comprises the callback functions that deliver filtered
+data to the demux client. Unlike the other DVB kABIs, these functions are
+provided by the client and called from the demux code.
+
+The function pointers of this abstract interface are not packed into a
+structure as in the other demux APIs, because the callback functions are
+registered and used independent of each other. As an example, it is possible
+for the API client to provide several callback functions for receiving TS
+packets and no callbacks for PES packets or sections.
+
+The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when
+a demux driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to
+call the function again before the original call returns. If a callback is
+triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended to use the Linux
+bottom half mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback
+function call directly from a hardware interrupt.
+
+This mechanism is implemented by dmx_ts_cb() and dmx_section_cb()
+callbacks.
