tspp: add kernel api for video demux component
The demux is an in-kernel software component whose purpose is to take
an incoming TSIF stream and split it into multiple output channels
based on the PID field in each TS packet. Each output channel can be
used for a different purpose, such as audio, video or channel
information. In order to get good performance when moving such large
data streams around, the demux was placed in kernel-space as to
prevent copying memory buffers between kernel-space and user-space, at
least at this early stage in processing the traffic. Originally the
design of the TSPP driver was based on the earlier TSIF driver, so it
contained only a user-space API.
