In the firewire-cdev ABI v1, the kernel exported only the timestamp
of interrupt packets. libraw1394 estimated the cycle of all packets
between interrupt packets by continuously incrementing the cycle.
In v2 of the ABI, we can obtain an accurate timestamp of each packet
as provided by the OHCI controller. AFAIU, this is also what you got
from raw1394/ ohci1394.

Subject: [PATCH] Work without permission to access local node's /dev/fw*
Fix for juju backend:
libraw1394 required write permission to the character device file of
the local node(s) in order to enumerate cards and for a number of
other operations. This forced users to either run applications like
dvgrab and kino with elevated privileges, or to configure write
permission for all /dev/fw* or at least for local nodes' /dev/fw*.
We now use the first accessible file which was found for each card
for as many tasks as possible, instead of the local node's file.
This allows distributors or admins to implement stricter access
rights (default off, e.g. only on for AV/C and IIDC devices)
without sacrificing functionality of said class of applications.
Access to the local node is now only required by low-level tools
like gscanbus.

Make iso start/stop/start sequences on the same handle, such as those used
by apps such as MythTV behave as expected. I can finally watch video off my
cable box over FireWire using MythTV w/the juju stack now. :)
Initially, seemed a one-liner might be the ticket (setting handle->iso.fd = -1
at the end of fw_iso_shutdown()), but that led to memory corruption and a
locked up system. What ultimately worked was essentially mimicking what the
old stack did to track iso state, and call fw_iso_stop() from
fw_iso_shutdown() as needed.
Nb: Only lightly tested with iso receive via MythTV, but its all fairly
straight-forward, I think.

The ieee1394 version of raw1394_read_cycle_timer() fell over the cliff
in "First cut at integrating juju". This brings it back and adds a juju
version of it.
Also correct a typo in the inline documentation: s/get/read/
While trying to track down some crashes in kino, I found the following problems
with libraw1394:
* There is a DIR* leak in raw1394_set_port().
* Lots of data structures are not fully initialized when calling IEEE1394
ioctl()s. These cause valgrind errors (benign, as valgrind does not know
how to interpret all ioctls. However these also cause kino to crash in
libraw1394. I've added a bunch of memset()s to prevent this problem from
happening.
