-What: V4L2 VIDIOC_G_MPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_S_MPEGCOMP

-Why: Broken attempt to set MPEG compression parameters. These ioctls are
- not able to implement the wide variety of parameters that can be set

Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to
communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow
V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.
