98993c680b Make buffer structure sharable
Use stucture offsets instead of pointers so that we can share the buffer
structure between client and server.
We can then pass an fd wrapping the memory of the buffer to the client.
Add beginnings of a memory pool

3ace7e9648 More work on implementing remote protocol
Rework things so that we negotiate buffer pools beforehand and only pass
buffer ids around We can then remove the refcount of buffers, events and
commands.
More work on buffer reuse
Use the node state changes to trigger the next step in the configuration
sequence.
Move most of the client-node to a plugin
Do buffer allocation in the port link.

05829f33e6 Work on memory allocation
We now only allow per port preallocated buffers. We exchange the index
into the array instead of passing the buffers around. We still use the
refcount to track when a buffer can be reused.
Improve API a little, allow passing the node as the first argument of
the interface call.
Implement alloc_buffer in v4l2 and improve the test.
